The ApnoDent® is an FDA-cleared device designed to manage patients suffering from snoring and sleep apnea. ApnoMed’s patented technology was developed and tested throughout the past decade with tremendous results which are not achievable by with other sleep appliances available on the market today. Due to the unique proprietary mechanism put into the ApnoDent®, we are able to bypass many of the classic side effects bound to occur with other devices on the market, such as jaw pain, bite change and permanent tooth movement.
The ApnoDent® works by gently repositioning the lower jaw in the ideal natural resting posture. In doing so, this opens up the back of the airway and keeps the tongue from falling in/blocking the airway. Since our devices utilize a unique technology that eliminates any forceful pushing/pulling of the lower jaw, the ApnoDent® has no long-term side effects such as bite change, permanent tooth movement or severe jaw pain unlike most of the devices on the market.
Additionally, the ApnoDent® is one of the only devices on the market that is friendly to patients suffering from TMJ (grinding and clenching) who exhibit severe clenching or grinding at nighttime. Patients are required to wear the ApnoDent® at nighttime only to aid with snoring and sleep apnea symptoms.
