The SomnoDent Difference
There are several different brands that manufacture sleep apnea appliances, and each one has its strong points. In our practice, we believe SomnoDent devices are among the best. They have already proven effective for countless patients, often after just a few days of use.
These products are mandibular advancement devices (MADs). Their purpose is to slightly reposition the jaw, moving it forward so as to minimize airway obstructions, thereby reducing or eliminating snoring and allowing the patient to breathe without interruption throughout the night.
