Your appliance was accompanied by a blue tree pack of connectors. Two connectors will already be installed on your appliance and missing from the pack of connectors. If you need to titrate further, remove the connectors and install the next shorter size. Make sure the same size is installed on the left and right side of the appliance. Wait 1-2 weeks before each switch to shorter connectors in order to slowly titrate to the shortest set of connectors you can comfortably tolerate. You may not need all the rods on the tree pack. Always use the same length connector on both sides and keep the previous longer connectors to revert to if pain appears.

Your appliance was accompanied by many different size rods. If you need to titrate further, remove the rods and install the next shorter size. Wait 1-2 weeks before changing to shorter rods in order to slowly titrate to the shortest set of rods you can comfortably tolerate. You may not need all the rods provided. Always use the same length rod on both sides and keep the previous longer rods to revert to if pain appears.

Included with the appliance is a wide selection of yellow bands and blue bands.  Use the yellow bands first, going down in size until you stop snoring. The yellow bands are softer than the blue bands, and used for “titrating” (adjusting) to the right size. Once you’ve reached the right size, switch to the blue bands, which last longer and stretch less. If you find the blue bands are uncomfortable, then shift back to the yellow bands.
