Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring can lead to heart disease, strokes, excessive daytime sleepiness and diminished overall quality of life. 

The Sleep Apnea silent nite and Elastic Mandibular Devices are comfortable to wear and easy to customize, providing safe and effective treatment of OSA. 

At least 80 million Americans snore, which is a sign of restricted airflow and impeded breathing during sleep. 

Lifespan

If properly cared for, your EMA appliance should last at least two years. The elastic straps typically last two to six weeks before needing replacement, though they may need to be replaced sooner when you first start using the device.

You should replace the straps if they stretch at least one-eighth of an inch longer than their original size, or if their circular holes become misshapen. Replacement strap sets are available without a prescription. If you need a new set of retainers, talk to your dentist.
