A method of producing a retention piece having a therapeutic package configured to provide a desired therapeutic profile for a recipient, the method comprising:
- obtaining data descriptive of mandibular and maxillary arches of the recipient;
- specifying an appropriate guidance package based on the desired therapeutic profile for the recipient;
- modeling a virtual representation of at least one retention piece configured to fit at least one of the mandibular and maxillary arches;
- and
- generating data that can be used by a computer aided machining (CAM) process to create at least one physical retention piece comprising the desired therapeutic package configured to provide the desired therapeutic profile.
A system for producing a retention piece having a therapeutic package configured to provide a desired therapeutic profile for a recipient, the system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory having stored thereon computer program code that, when executed by the at least one processor, controls the processor to:
- obtain data descriptive of mandibular and maxillary arches of the recipient;
- specify an appropriate guidance package based on the desired therapeutic profile for the recipient;
- model a virtual representation of at least one retention piece configured to fit at least one of the mandibular and maxillary arches;
- and
- generate data for a computer aided machining (CAM) process to create at least one physical retention piece comprising the desired therapeutic package configured to provide the desired therapeutic profile.
