EMA – Custom

Frantz Design Inc, Austin, Tex, offers the EMA® – Custom, a simple, patient-friendly oral appliance created for noninvasive treatment of snoring and OSA. The primary treatment mechanism of opening the bite and gently moving the mandible forward is achieved with the use of interchangeable elastic straps that offer varying degrees of mandibular advancement. The flexibility of these elastic straps provides unsurpassed lateral movement and overall TMJ comfort. The 2-mm-thick pressure-formed bases offer orthodontic retention (resulting in no tooth movement) and maximum anterior tongue space because there are no projections in the palate.

SomnoMed MAS

The SomnoMed MAS™ from SomnoMed, Denton, Tex, is an effective solution for the majority of patients with mild to moderate OSA who prefer oral appliances to CPAP therapy, and who do not respond to, are not appropriate candidates for, or fail CPAP treatment attempts. Its levels of patient acceptance, compliance, and treatment efficacy are backed by a large body of clinical research, the company says. The SomnoMed MAS moves the lower jaw forward slightly, which tightens the soft tissues and muscles of the upper airway, preventing obstruction during sleep. The tightening also prevents tissues of the upper airway vibrating as air passes over them.
