Full-Breath Solution – A Breath of Fresh Air for Patients with Sleep Apnea

According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep apnea affects an estimated 18 million Americans. Sleep apnea steals sleep, causing chronic exhaustion and a long list of other ailments, including heart disease, migraines, weight gain, and more. While Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines are often the primary recommended solution, customized oral appliances are also used successfully to combat sleep apnea – particularly for those who cannot tolerate CPAP.

At SML (Space Maintainers Laboratories), one of the most exciting appliances that our labs make is the Full-Breath Solution™. This tongue-controlling oral appliance is designed to keep the airway open during sleep, allowing for the free flow of breath.

According to its designers, patients using the Full-Breath Solution have achieved a 72% drop in the number of times per hour that the tongue blocks the airway for at least ten seconds. The use of this simple device can mean longer, more restful and rejuvenating sleep for your sleep apnea patients.

Ask your patients if they suffer from some form of sleep dysfunction or deprivation, morning headaches, sore throats, daytime energy deficit. They may be a great candidate for a Full-Breath Solution or one of the many other custom sleep solutions that SML provides.

For ensuring the maximum results and benefits from the Full Breath Solution, the Full Breath O² appliance features tubes within the acrylic for CPAP-assisted sleep apnea treatment.
