Sleep apnea oral devices work by advancing the mandible forward. This increases the diameter of the airway, reducing air resistance which leads to sleep apnea and snoring.
Oral appliances for sleep apnea are often used as an alternative to CPAP or upper airway surgery. It is often used in addition to conservative treatment options like weight loss if the individual is overweight.
SomnoMed has sold over 200,000 sleep apnea oral appliance devices worldwide.
