1. What do I do every Day?
-
Inspect the device prior to each use. Are the fin lock pins in place?
-
Insert the TOP tray first onto your top teeth
-
Insert the Bottom tray second while you stick your bottom jaw out a little.
-
The trays should not be worn separately.
-
You should only take the fins off to clean under them
-
This is a prescribed device- only change fin size under advice of your dental professional
2. How do I clean the Aer Dorsal?
-
Clean the device every day
-
Use fresh water and cleaner every day
-
We recommend Aer Clean powder, - if the product is not proven to clean nylon appliances perfectly, do not use the product.
-
Rinse the device under running water to remove the night's saliva.
-
Soak the device in cool, clean water and cleaner, all day, every day.
-
If the device gets dirty, it is clear that you are not cleaning it every day and soaking it all day. There is no warranty for dirty devices.
3. Changing/Cleaning* under the Fins
*Cleaning under the Fins should be done every month for one day clean only
Removing the fins:
-
You must take the lock pins out of the fins before trying to remove the fins from the bottom Aer Dorsal tray
-
Push the lock pin out, and then use your fingers to pinch the lock pin and remove it from the device (as demonstrated in the photos below).
-
Pinch the fin and pull the fin off the support frame - you will feel the fin 'pop' as it disengages from the support frame (as demonstrated in the photo below).
-
Push the lock pins back into the ‘keyhole’ in the fins before adding them to the dental bath for cleaning – this is so you don’t accidentally wash them down the drain when you empty the dental bath after cleaning your Aer Dorsal.

Take off the fin
Putting on the fins
-
Once you have cleaned your device, take the lock pins out of the fins, as per the instructions above.
-
Put the fin on the support frame and push down until you feel it ‘click’ into place (NOTE: the fin will be labelled ‘L’ for the left side of your mouth or labelled ‘R’ for the right side of your mouth).
-
Reinsert the lock pin into the ‘keyhole’ in the fin – make sure you push the lock pin in all the way. (NOTE: the lock pins can fit on either side; they are not fin—and side-specific).
Put the fin AND the lock pin back onto the support before use
