What Is a Panthera D-SAD Appliance?
Similar to other devices we offer, the Panthera D-SAD is a mandibular advancement device (MAD). That means it is designed to gently shift your jaw forward during sleep, which helps to keep the airway open and prevent pauses in breathing.
The Panthera D-SAD is recommended for cases of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It can also be used in some severe cases wherein a patient finds it difficult to benefit from CPAP therapy.
Unique Benefits of the Panthera D-SAD
Some unique benefits of the Panthera D-SAD include:
- It is small and comfortable. In fact, it is often called the smallest oral appliance on the market. That means it leaves more room for your tongue, and it can be a great choice for individuals with a small mouth.
- The fit is precise. The Panthera D-SAD is made with the assistance of proprietary software and advanced CAD/CAM technology. The goal is to make devices that are a perfect fit for each unique patient.
- It is made of durable materials. The Panthera D-SAD is made of medical grade nylon polyamide type 12. This material is very strong, making it resistant to cracks, abrasion, and teeth grinding.
- It can be precisely adjusted. This device features an effective titration system that can be used for incremental adjustments.
- Low risk of tooth movement. The Panthera D-SAD is designed to be anchored on your strongest teeth, so there is little risk of it causing your teeth to shift out of place.
Is the Panthera D-SAD Right for Me?
The Panthera D-SAD may be right for you if:
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
- You are tired of the inconveniences caused by your CPAP machine.
- You are looking for a comfortable and effective way to treat your snoring or OSA.
