EMA

Printed EMA

Scan to print — the EMA produced through a fully digital workflow developed in-house.

3D printed

Designed on the scan, printed from the file.

This appliance is designed digitally and printed, then finished at the bench. The thickness is the thickness you prescribed at every point, and the file is kept, so a replacement is the same appliance again.

Digital · Scan or impression

Send us a case

Scan or impressions, a bite where the design needs one, and a signed prescription. If anything on the Rx is left open, a technician calls your practice before the case is started.

Download the Rx form or call the sleep lab, 623-533-3202.

EMA® is a trademark of Myerson LLC. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

We have built a completely digital workflow for the EMA. Send a scan and the arches are designed and printed here through our own process, with the same nine-length strap system and the same free lateral movement as the conventional appliance.

Because the design is kept, a replacement comes off the same record rather than a new impression.
