SomnoDent Avant®
The SomnoDent Avant device stands out for its remarkably small size and slim fit. Despite its small size, however, it is able to stand up well to everyday use — in fact, its special design makes it the strongest device in the SomnoDent line. You won’t have to worry about an “oops” moment disrupting your sleep apnea therapy. The Avant is processed completely digitally, which ensures a precise fit that delivers reliable results for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. This unique device also features a patented BFlex liner, which helps patients to be as comfortable as possible while they are wearing the Avant.
Herbst
If you are looking for a device that is Medicare-approved, look no further than the E0468 version of the Herbst, which is the only SomnoDent oral sleep appliance approved by Medicare. The Herbst oral appliance is a multi-use device. Not only can it provide effective relief from mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, but it can also help you conquer bruxism (nighttime teeth grinding) — and, of course, it can help you stop snoring. Its design allows a degree of movement to promote patient comfort. The Flex version of this device even has a special lining to enhance patient comfort.
SomnoDent Flex®
The SomnoDent Flex gets its name from the unique SMH BFlex material that is molecularly bonded to the acrylic beneath it. The BFlex liner will stand the test of time; it won’t accumulate odors or delaminate. It also aids in both retention and comfort, helping patients to get the most out of their sleep apnea treatment. The device is easy to adjust, which minimizes the time that you will spend in our office for tweaks to your Flex appliance as your therapy progresses. Also, since the Flex has a drop-in fit, it is suitable for a wide range of patients.
SomnoDent Fusion®
The SomnoDent Fusion device is supported by years of in-depth medical research and development. It is an FDA-cleared device with over a 90 percent success rate in improving sleep quality, as reported in 15 independent studies. This device allows for quick and easy to adjustments thanks to its unique wing and screw design. It is even available with a BFlex liner to promote comfort and retention. Its drop-in fit saves time for both sleep dentists and patients. The Fusion was designed with the goal of decreasing bulk so patients have more room in their mouths.
ProSomnus MicrO2®
Unlike other kinds of oral appliances, the ProSomnus MicrO2 device does not have a piece intended to keep the tongue in a neutral position. The MicrO2 is crafted using state-of-the-art digital impressions to ensure the most precise, comfortable fit possible. While this appliance is designed to be effortlessly adjusted for maximum efficacy, there aren’t multiple pieces that need to be connected and placed every night. The MicrO2 is just one easily placed piece.
