ProSomnus EVO
If you have a small mouth or want to avoid a bulky appliance, the ProSomnus EVO is highly effective, especially if you have mild symptoms of sleep apnea. This device is also ideal if you snore. Not only is it free of any metals, but it has a single-layer design that makes it easy to clean and maintain. With the ProSomnus EVO, you can also feel confident in case it becomes damaged because it comes with additional replacement pieces.
Prosomnus EVO Select
Similar to the Prosomnus EVO, the Prosomnus EVO Select is 20% less bulky than the EVO but has the same flexibility. It is great for treating sleep apnea and/or snoring and is a metal-free device that is comfortable to wear and easy to clean and maintain.
Prosomnus (PH) EVO
The Prosomnus (PH) EVO is an oral appliance that treats both sleep apnea and snoring, and it is FDA-approved. Using mechanical hinges, it can reposition and stabilize your jaw while you’re asleep so there is additional space within the throat, minimizing the potential for any kind of obstruction. Because the device is smaller than the Prosomnus EVO, it doesn’t take up as much room inside the mouth. Also, it is believed this device is stain-resistant and is fabricated using one piece so that it maintains its fit.
Somnomed Avant
This metal-free oral appliance possesses the best design, fit, and effectiveness when treating sleep apnea. The Somnomed Avant is the first milled device with a hard outer surface. However, it also contains a softer inside to ensure greater comfort and longer wear. Because of the nylon material used to make this device, your mandibular can be shifted forward gradually until reaching the ideal location.
SerenaSleep Elevate
The SerenaSleep Elevate oral appliance is custom designed to ensure greater comfort. A patented device, it is durable, biocompatible, and made with medical-grade nylon. These are high-quality products that have a minimal profile and maximize oral cavity volume. You can expect great success if our team recommends it to correct any mandibular advancements for better sleep.
Panthera D-SAD Sleep Appliance
Approved by the FDA, the Panthera D-SAD sleep appliance is made out of biocompatible nylon and is designed to treat snoring and sleep apnea. Because it does require maximum retention, it is often recommended for those whose mouths possess certain anatomical characteristics.
Somnomed Herbst Advance
The Somnomed Herbst Advance is considered to be the most comfortable oral appliance on the market because of its ease of vertical and lateral jaw movement. If you snore, suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, or grind your teeth, this device is made for you.
The OASYS Oral/Nasal Airway System
Another effective solution for treating sleep apnea and snoring is the OASYS Oral/Nasal Airway System. It comes with a nasal dilator and jaw repositioning technology that relieve breathing problems that occur within the nose and/or throat. This solution is also ideal if you wear dentures.
SnoreHook
If snoring is keeping you from getting a good night’s rest, a SnoreHook may be what you need. Hinged at the sides, front, or palate, its mandible can be advanced out over the front teeth for maximum protrusion. Keeping Its adjustment setting even after it is removed is just one of the many benefits you can expect while wearing this device.
SomnoDent Flex
SomnoDent Flex provides exceptional comfort and relief if you are struggling to achieve quality sleep at night. The SMH BFlex material discourages odors and delamination, and the internal layer offers a soft feel while you sleep. Because it only needs minimal adjustments, it is a great option if you have custom restorations such as crowns or bridges.
Thornton Adjustable Positioner (TAP®)
The Thornton Adjustable Positioner is custom-made to be fully adjustable so that symptoms of sleep apnea and/or snoring are minimized. This standard device, along with Herbst appliances, are great options if you have Medicare and need assistance treating your sleep problems.
AveoTSD
The AveoTSD can help even the most persistent snorers as well as those with sleep apnea. Because of its silicone design, it offers maximum comfort and helps to hold the tongue forward so that the airway remains clear while asleep. Because it can lead to a fatigued tongue, it is often only recommended if you are undergoing orthodontic care.
Prosomnus IA
As the leading device offered by Prosomnus, the IA oral appliance offers support for cases of sleep apnea or snoring. Although the design is simple, it is thin and highly durable so that maximum advancement is achieved when worn.
Prosomnus CA
Asymmetrical archforms, manufacturing variances, and device design limitations can all be remedied using the Prosomnus CA. As the first device created by Prosomnus to allow precision advancement, it uses proprietary technologies to ensure optimal results.
Prosomnus PH
If you are a Medicare patient who does not want to undergo CPAP therapy, you can find success with the Prosomnus PH. This slim and smooth design allows for more comfortable wear and ease of use. As a result, symptoms of sleep apnea will dissipate. Also, because it does contain Herbst hinges, it includes lip shields to better protect your soft oral tissues.
