SomnoDent Avant®

SomnoDent Avant® is our most comfortable appliance ever. The upper and lower splints are computer designed and manufactured by robots to the shape of your teeth – using a single piece of dental acrylic – this makes the splints stronger, so they last longer.

We add the soft b-flex Comfort Liner® to cradle and support your teeth. It cushions the device against your teeth. With a b-flex Comfort Liner®, the appliance feels more comfortable to wear and doesn’t fall off your teeth while you are sleeping. If it’s more comfortable, you are more likely to wear it, and be better treated for your sleep apnea.

The innovative design of the SomnoDent Avant® gently closes your mouth, so you breathe through your nose while you are sleeping. This eliminates snoring in most people, as well as preventing dry mouth, which is a common complaint with other oral appliances (and CPAP).

How we make SomnoDent Avant®

SomnoDent Avant® manufacture starts with a digital photo of your teeth that your dentist will send to us. With this photo, SomnoMed® will design an oral appliance specifically for your teeth and jaw shape using Computer Assisted Design or CAD software tools.

Once we’ve created your design, we start building your device using computer-controlled milling robots. The robot carves out your design from a single piece of dental plastic – as tests have shown that this method creates appliances that are stronger. We then add the soft b-flex Comfort Liner® for comfort and polish your device, so there are no sharp edges and it is comfortable in your mouth.

After your appliance is made, we test it using a 3D printed model of your teeth. We check to make sure it fits; it doesn’t fall off your teeth, and it has been made exactly to the specifications provided by your dentist. We then ship it to your dentist, so that you can start your treatment for sleep apnea.
