Orthoapnea is a revolutionary prosthesis which constitutes the most conmfortable and effective alternative for the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. Intraoral splints alter the position of the mandibula, the tongue and other structures in order to guarantee the free flow of air through the upper airway avoiding the obstruction of air during the night.
The apnea-hypopnea is characterized by continuous obstruction of the upper airway, impeding normal air flow to the lungs. Patients stop breathing while they sleep up to a hundred times in one night. This reduces dramatically the flow of oxygen to vital organs with serious health consequences.
Sleep apnea is a serious breathing disorder, potentially deadly, that affects 4% of the population. Patients with untreated apnea have increased mortality rates, they are four times more likely to suffer accidents at work and when driving. Due to all this factors and their quality of life is substantially and worryingly reduced.
Orthoapnea is a device joining all the improvements of nowadays methods. Lateral movement, openness and millimeter controlled progress together in one device are the key to a new generation of intraoral appliances, converting Orthoapnea in the best proposal. The only device in the world that moves on the jaw even more when the pacient open his mouth, therefore the diameter of the airway increases.
Orthoapnea for its precise manufacture matches each patient to extraordinary levels / standards.
Orthoapnea in the only device in the world, capable of letting patiens continue with their normal lives while wearing apparatu. Orthoapnea will not stop the pacient from talking, drinking, and all kinds of movements (lateral, forward, and openness).
