Instructions for Bite Fork Measurements

Select the appropriate type and arch size Bite Fork for recording the patient’s bite registration. The Bite Fork should fit comfortably to the size of the upper and lower teeth

Taking a Physical Bite Registration

Double Sided bite fork (for edge to edge bite registration)

Step 1 Attach PVS (polyvinyl siloxane) or suitable firm bite registration material on the upper and lower parts of the Bite Fork’s occlusal surfaces.
Step 2 Immediately place the loaded Bite Fork in the patient’s mouth, centering the handle under the patient’s nose. Ask the patient to close their mouth around the impression material on the bite fork and bite down firmly. The Bite Fork should remain in place according to the manufacturer’s recommended setting time for the impression material

Step 3 Once the impression is complete, remove the Bite Fork from the patient’s mouth.
Step 4 Record the patient’s facial midline in relation to their dental midline on the impression, using a permanent marker. This enables the centering of the O2Vent Optima® device’s airway inlet to the patient’s facial midline.

Single Sided bite fork (to be used in conjunction with a suitable

measurement tool)

Step 1 Insert the Bite Fork into a suitable bite measurement tool.

Step 2 Follow the bite measurement tool’s instructions to record the patient’s ideal protrusive jaw position. The bite record is used by Open Airway Dental Solutions to set the level of protrusion and titration range of any Open Airway Dental Solutions oral device.
Step 3 Once the protrusive bite is recorded, follow steps one to four of the Double Sided bite fork instructions for recording edge to edge bite registration.
