Sleep Appliances with Primescan

Enhanced patient experience to grow your practice

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a significant life-threatening, yet an under-treated chronic disease. While it is traditionally treated by Continuous Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP) devices, their low compliance rate (50 % non-compliance after 6 months1 ) has paved the way for treatment alternatives such as oral sleep appliances. These small and practical devices can be used for snoring and mild to moderate OSA. They can also be used for severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) when patients are non-compliant with CPAP.

Thanks to digital impressions, sleep appliance treatments have never been so easy and comfortable. With Primescan and Omnicam* you get outstanding and reliable scan data to create custom-made sleep devices for your patients.

Improve your patients' sleep while growing your practice with the validated workflow.

*Omnicam is only available for sale in Brazil. Please consult with your local representative for product alternatives available in your country.

Functionality of a mandibular advancement device

How a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) works

An MAD is an oral appliance that protrudes the lower jaw in a forward position to open the airway and prevent it from becoming obstructed during sleep. It is designed to aid in opening up the space behind the tongue and increase the tension of relaxed soft tissues to help reduce snoring and decrease the number of sleep apnea events that may disturb the physiological sleep cycle.
