The Right Temporary Oral Appliance

Manufactured by the French company Newsom, BluePro® has transformed the way snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are managed. Since receiving FDA clearance in December 2016, this groundbreaking device has been helping patients worldwide with a fast, effective, same-day solution.

BluePro is a prefabricated, adjustable appliance made from high-quality thermoplastic materials. The fitting process is quick and easy, performed chair-side by a dentist in just 7 minutes. The two splints are heated in boiling water, molded directly onto the patient’s dental arches, and assembled into a monobloc that gently advances the lower jaw to an optimal position. The advancement can be adjusted millimeter by millimeter, thanks to the graduated splints allowing precise customization for each patient.

BluePro acts as a temporary appliance, offering professional same-day treatment to trial how patients respond to mandibular advancement. It also provides a way to fine-tune the optimal advancement level through incremental adjustments, similar to other transitional devices.

Retention issues are rare with BluePro. However, patients may occasionally experience tightness or dental discomfort. This can be easily addressed by trimming excess material from the splint during the fitting process. Two independent studies have confirmed the efficacy of BluePro in treating OSA.

In the U.S., BluePro is primarily used as a trial or transitional appliance, serving as a backup device once a custom-made solution is delivered. Its sleek design, affordability (150 USD), easy adjustability, and potential lifespan of up to one year (with regular cleaning) make it a pragmatic choice for many patients. Additionally, it offers an affordable alternative for patients without access to custom devices or those who need a spare appliance for travel.
