ProSomnus MicrO2: Features and Benefits
The ProSomnus MicrO2 is a patented, FDA-cleared appliance that comes with a 3-year warranty. It is highly comfortable, which makes it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep while wearing it.
The ProSomnus MicrO2 works by repositioning the jaw according to the prescription to allow for maximum airflow throughout the night. It was designed by a team of sleep dentists with years of experience in the field, and the results attest to that expertise!
Some of the benefits of this oral appliance include:
- Created with CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology for wonderful accuracy
- Considerably less bulky with reduced volume compared to other appliances
- A retainer-like fit keeps the teeth from moving around, which may happen when the dimensions are not quite right in other models
- Easy to adjust as needed
- Contoured cheek and lip borders increase comfort
- Frees up more of the tongue compared to other appliances
- Minimized risk of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain
- The appliance is translucent
- Can be replaced in just 7 days if needed
