Advantages of a Narval CC Mandibular Advancement Appliance

Simple operation

The way Narval CC works is by slightly advancing the jaw, which allows the jaw to take a better position so that the airways are permanently open. This results in an optimal posture of the mouth, which remains closed. With this position, snoring and breathing interruptions are interrupted.
