SomnoDent® Information
For the treatment of OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea), SomnoDent® is worn during sleep to maintain the patency of the upper airway by increasing its dimensions and reducing collapsibility.
SomnoDent Appliances
SomnoDent® is a custom made appliance developed to aid people affected by Obstructive Sleep Apnea. It is comprised of upper and lower dental plates with a unique patented fin coupling component, which allows normal mouth opening and closing.
SomnoDent® is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, making it easy to carry when traveling. The appliance is comfortable and easy to wear. Most people find that it only takes one or two nights to get used to it.
