Design Matters in Oral Appliances
SomnoMed® leads the world in the development of OSA devices with each appliance custom made using state-of-the-art technology delivering precision, comfort, and first-time fit solutions.
SomnoDent® Avant® has an innovative strap design to keep the mouth gently closed, encouraging nasal breathing in your patient. This helps eliminate snoring and keeps the mouth from feeling dry. Clinically this design has been shown to effectively alleviate supine effects, showing a statistically significant higher improvement in AHI in supine position when compared to non-supine.

The Effectiveness Equation
Whilst CPAP is a effective treatment for a compliant patient, patients who stop CPAP therapy during the night may not be well treated. As patients generally wear their oral appliance for most of the night, the reduction in AHI over the nights sleep may be similar on both therapies.
We’ve developed the Effectiveness Equation – a tool that allows you to simulate a nights treatment for your patient on either CPAP or an oral appliance. Click below to find out more about the Effective Equation
