Oral Appliances

Are you or your partner CPAP intolerant? Stop the CPAP torture and discover the No Mask options available with Dr. Blumenstock. Oral appliances offer a No Mask solution to CPAP treatment.  No Mask, No Straps, No Hoses and No Head Gear! Now you can sleep comfortably and wake rested!

Oral Appliance therapy involves the selection, design, fitting and use of a specially designed oral appliance that, when worn during sleep, maintains an opened, unobstructed airway in the throat. Oral appliances that treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are devices worn in the mouth, similar to orthodontic retainers or sports mouth-guards. They have several advantages over other forms of therapy. Oral appliances are comfortable and easy to wear and care for. They are small and convenient, making them easy to carry with you when you travel. Treatment with oral appliances is reversible and non-invasive.

O2Vent™ Oral Appliance

With a unique separate airway incorporated into a patented design, the O2Vent devices allow air to continue to flow unobstructed in the presence of nasal obstruction and/or soft palate collapse while simultaneously preventing tongue collapse and maintaining an oral seal. The O2Vent™ addresses multiple levels of obstruction, not just advancing the lower jaw forward to prevent tongue obstruction.

The customized O2Vent™ devices may be particularly beneficial for the many people with nasal obstructions, those that experience soft palate collapse or who are habitual mouth breathers.

How the O2Vent™ works

1 – Air is drawn into the front of the device
2 – Air passes through to the back of the device
3 – The device advances the lower jaw/mandible, bringing the tongue forward and opening the airway

The Klearway Appliance

klearway_oral_appliance_cpap_alternative_treatmentKlearway is a fully-adjustable oral appliance used for the treatment of snoring and mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Fabricated of thermoactive acrylic resin, Klearway becomes pliable for easy insertion and confirms securely to the dentition for an excellent fit while significantly decreasing soft tissue and tooth discomfort. Small increments (0.25mm) of forward lower jaw advancement are initiated by the patient under the direction of a dentist and this helps avoid rapid jaw movements that can cause significant patient discomfort. The appliance does not encroach on tongue space. Once warmed under hot water and inserted, the acrylic resin hardens as it cools to body temperature and firmly affixes itself to both arches. Lateral and vertical jaw movement is permitted which enables the patient to yawn, swallow, and drink water without dislodging the appliance.
