Abstract: A method includes inserting an irradiated, cross-linked thermoplastic polymer into a pressure chamber of a pressure molding machine, positioning an oral model on a molding platform of the pressure molding machine, applying heat using a heat element to soften the thermoplastic polymer, and applying pressure to form the thermoplastic polymer over the oral model to produce a tray. The method also includes scanning the tray to produce a scanned surface and milling a frame based on the scanned surface. The frame includes a channel that fits the tray. The method further includes inserting the tray into the channel of the frame and coupling the tray to the frame.

Abstract: An oral appliance includes an upper arch and a seal. The upper arch may be positioned proximate a maxillary dentition of a user. The upper arch includes a first tab and a second tab positioned on opposite sides of a plane substantially bisecting the upper arch. The seal defines a first receptacle and a second receptacle that may receive the first and second tabs to couple the seal to the upper arch and to inhibit breathing through a mouth of the user.
