Does SleepMD help with sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles at the back of the throat relax. When this happens, the airways become narrow or closes as you breathe in, which prevents you from breathing properly. This can lower the oxygen level in your blood. As a result, the brain senses your inability to breathe and rouses you from your sleep to open the airway. This condition prevents you from getting a good night’s sleep, can leave your partner disgruntled, and is life-threatening.

SleepMD is a type of oral device that is designed to open the airway by suspending the tissues responsible for causing the obstruction —the tongue. As the tongue is attached to the undersurface of the jaw, the device moves the jaw forward and prevents the tongue from falling back into the oropharynx. SleepMD has proven to be 90-95% successful in controlling sleep apnea if used in suitable conditions. In fact, patients with large necks can also expect improvement in snoring and obstruction (if not a complete cure).

How do you use SleepMD?

SleepMD’s anti-snoring mouthguard is quite easy to use and doesn’t require any boil-and-bite method. It is a simple mouthpiece and directly targets the cause of snoring. It works by maintaining the jaw position and controls the tongue’s movement. The device makes use of the ‘dorsal wing’ design that is often used in prescribed devices for obstructive sleep apnea as an alternative to CPAP therapy. Unlike other devices that prevent the tongue from moving, SleepMD doesn’t restrict any normal mouth activity and is completely customizable.

However, if you feel that the device is small or too tight, you can follow these steps to get the right fit:

• You’ll have to intentionally crack the upper mouthpiece by pulling the back of the device outward.
• Once you are done with it, you will have to soften the plastic in the cracked area.
• After this, put pressure on both the back metal plates with your fingers and place it inside the mouth for 60 seconds to ensure that the device is wide enough.
• If the front area seems tight, you will have to press it outward and place it in your mouth for 2 minutes.
