| 3D NAM | Device | After consent and birth of the child, a face MRI will be taken of the newborn before discharge from the hospital utilizing the "feed and swaddle" technique. The MRI will be sent to the dental team to convert into a format compatible with 3D software. With the image, a NAM appliance will be digitally fabricated and 3D printed. The 3D printed model will be tested for fit on stone model made from traditional impression. Both traditional NAM and 3D printed NAM will be inserted at delivery appointment. Fit will be assessed of both appliances by applying a try-in paste to the intaglio surface and counting the number of spots needing adjustment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Fit as measured by number of adjustments to the device | One month after MRI |

| Traditional NAM | Device | The patient will be seen for visit at the clinic for traditional intraoral impression and a dental stone model will be poured. An acrylic NAM will be fabricated on the stone model. The 3D printed model will be tested for fit on stone model made from traditional impression. Both traditional NAM and 3D printed NAM will be inserted at delivery appointment. Fit will be assessed of both appliances by applying a try-in paste to the intaglio surface and counting the number of spots needing adjustment. |
