How does the device work?

For the treatment of OSA, the SomnoDent® MAS is worn during sleep to maintain the patency of the upper airway by increasing its dimensions and reducing collapsibility. It is a custom made oral device that is comprised of upper and lower dental plates with a unique patented fin coupling component to maintain mandible protrusion. The fin coupling mechanism is a key differentiator from other oral devices as it enables the patient to maintain normal mouth opening and closing while wearing the SomnoDent® MAS. Implementing a number of key design features which represent quantum improvements on existing MAS devices, the SomnoDent® MAS is both more comfortable and effective. Furthermore, the SomnoDent® MAS is now recognized by an expanding group of dental sleep professionals throughout the US as the MAS Gold Standard.

We understand that patients needs are varied which is why we offer a number of customizable additions to the SomnoDent® MAS. Such additions include elastic retention for mouth breathers and an anterior ramp for bruxing. SomnoMed also offers a treatment solution for your edentulous patients.
