Snoring and sleep apnea can be caused by the airway at the back of your throat narrowing while you sleep. Oral appliances, like our SomnoDent Avant ®, move your jaw and tongue forward while you sleep to open up your airway and treat your sleep apnea.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition in which breathing stops involuntarily for brief periods of time during sleep. This is normally due to the narrowing of the airway at the back of the throat. Periods when breathing stops are called apneas or apneic episodes.

SomnoMed® devices move your lower jaw forward to open your obstructed airway, allowing you to breathe better naturally while asleep. When you have your sleep consultation with your sleep dentist, they will take an impression of your teeth and send the impression to SomnoMed to manufacture your device.

The SomnoDent line of devices are customized to each patient and offer superior comfort and quality. They are uniquely compliant and highly effective.

In patients with heart failure (HF), sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is a common comorbidity and a risk factor for poor clinical outcomes. SDB can be ameliorated by continuous positive airway pressure; however, inadequate adherence remains a major cause of treatment failure.

2023年11月13日 · “This mouth opening is amplified if the patient is sleeping supine, as the soft palate and tongue fall back on the airway and work against the oral appliance. By closing the mouth and increasing airway patency in the retropalatal/retroglossal areas, the design of the SomnoDent Avant improves OSA, even in supine sleepers.”
