Orthoapnea ® is a revolutionary prosthesis which constitutes the most comfortable and effective alternative for the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. Intra-oral splints alter the position of the lower jaw, the tongue and other structures in order to guarantee the free flow of air through the upper airway avoiding obstruction during the night.
Sleep apnea is a serious breathing disorder, potentially deadly, that affects 4% of the population. Patients with untreated apnea have increased mortality rates, being four times more likely to suffer accidents at work and when driving. Due to these factors their quality of life is substantially and worryingly reduced.
This website provides all the information you might need about sleep disorders and their solutions.
Orthoapnea® is a device combining all the advantages of existing oral apnea appliances: lateral movement, mouth opening and precise control of lower jaw advancement. These are the key to a new generation of intra-oral appliances, converting Orthoapnea® in the best option. The only device in the world which advances the lower jaw even further when the patient opens their mouth, thereby increasing the diameter of the airway.
Orthoapnea is intricately manufactured to meet the specific needs of every patient to an exceptionally high standard.
The current Orthoapnea prothesis of adjustable mandibular advancement is the solution to reduce snoring and sleep apnea
Has demonstrated the ability to extend the UA at various points, both on the soft palate and the base of the tongue.
It is a multiple solution to various problems, both mild snoring and apnea as occlusal disease...
The advancement of the mandible increases in light of the airway by reducing the tendency of the collapse of the pharynx.
Orthoapnea is the only device in the world, allowing patients to continue with their daily lives whilst wearing the appliance. Orthoapnea will not prevent the patient from talking, drinking, or moving the lower jaw (lateral, forward, or mouth opening).
The Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome is characterized by continuous obstruction of the upper airway, impeding normal air flow to the lungs. Patients stop breathing whilst they sleep up to a hundred times in one night. This dramatically reduces the flow of oxygen to vital organs with serious health consequences.
Snoring, which until recently was considered a sign of resting, can be an indicator of apnea, a disorder causing a large number of health problems. The irritating noise which causes annoyance to those around the snorer and distress to the snorer themselves can actually be a sign of a potentially deadly illness:
"Sudden death,
sleepiness and chronic fatigue,
depression,
hypertension,
cerebrovascular disease,
heart problems,
cognitive and behavioral disorder: irritability, paranoia ...,
intellectual impairment, memory loss,
decreased motor skills,
reduction of sensory capacities,
gastroesophageal reflux disease,
erectile dysfunction and impotence,
decreased sexual desire,
diabetes,
alterations in endocrine and metabolic system,
migraines."
