The ApnoDent works by gently repositioning the lower jaw in the ideal natural resting posture. In doing so, this opens up the back of the airway and keeps the tongue from falling in/blocking the airway. Since our devices utilize a unique technology that eliminates any forceful pushing/pulling of the lower jaw, the ApnoDent has no long-term side effects such as bite change, permanent tooth movement or severe jaw pain unlike most of the devices on the market.
Additionally, the ApnoDent is one of the only devices on the market that is friendly to patients suffering from TMJ (grinding and clenching) who exhibit severe clenching or grinding at nighttime. Patients are required to wear the ApnoDent at nighttime only to aid with snoring and sleep apnea symptoms.
