Sleep Apnea Sleep
SnoreSilencer™ Pro
The SnoreSilencer™ Pro is an easy-to-use and comfortable heat-and-fit mandibular advancement device, for the reduction or elimination of snoring and/or to treat OSA. Patients can take it home the same day it is fit. For patients considering a mandibular advancement device, the SnoreSilencer Pro is a quick and cost-effective introduction to the technology. The device is also an alternative for noncompliant CPAP users or those who want a more accessible treatment alternative when traveling.
With its patented hinge technology and soft pliable material, the device is close to custom in comfort and ability to adjust jaw advancement, without the long waiting period for lab fabrication. The unique Precision 3 Advancement System uses three separate lower trays, each with a fixed pin setting. This facilitates three different advancement levels to help patients can reach a most satisfactory level of treatment.
One-part thermoplastic mandibular advancement device to treat snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Appliance consists of a hypoallergenic thermoplastic body. After heating the appliance in water that has been boiled the thermoplastic co-polymer becomes soft and moldable. While soft, the appliance is fitted to the upper and lower jaws and once cooled it is ready to be worn at night. It differs from the preceding SomnoGuard by a 3.0 mm thicker molar biting zone. This thicker molar area means that fitting is faster and easier for those patients with a “deep bite”. The monobloc appliance exhibits the following features and advantages:
- Easy fitting within minutes, preferably by physicians or their trained staff
- Clinical efficacy well proven by several clinical trials performed with the SomnoGuard® with success rates between 50 to 80% in reducing snoring and RDI (i.e. Respiratory Disturbance Index). Literature references and detailed actual clinical trial outcome data is published on www.tomedcare.com
- Normally very well tolerated. Minor and temporary side effects refer mainly to hypersalivation and morning discomfort
- Average life of about one year, and thus considered for short to medium term use
- The most cost-effective option to treat snoring and sleep apnea
