Panthera Digital Sleep Apnea Appliance (DSAD)
The Panthera Digital Sleep Apnea Device (DSAD) is a custom-made dental appliance designed to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Crafted using digitally printed, medical-grade nylon, it offers a lightweight, low-profile, and durable solution that is both comfortable and effective.
Unlike traditional lab-made devices, which tend to be bulky and rigid, the Panthera DSAD provides a greater degree of movement freedom. This allows the jaw and tongue to move naturally while maintaining a forward position to keep the airway open, resulting in a more comfortable sleeping experience.
How It’s Made
The DSAD appliance is custom-fitted based on a digital scan of your mouth, ensuring a precise, personalized design. These devices gently and predictably titrate the jaw forward, improving airflow and reducing snoring, so you can breathe more easily while you sleep.
Did you know? Studies show that dental sleep apnea appliances (such as the DSAD) have a success rate of around 60-80% for treating mild to moderate sleep apnea, which is comparable to the effectiveness of CPAP machines for many patients. However, a major advantage of dental appliances is that 70% of users report better compliance with wearing them, compared to CPAP, due to the appliances being more comfortable, portable, and less invasive.
Dental Implants can reduce the risk of tooth decay in permanent molars by up to 80% in the first two years after application.
Who Can It Treat
The DSAD is ideal for those suffering from snoring or mild to moderate sleep apnea. However, for individuals with severe sleep apnea, a CPAP machine is still the recommended treatment. If you’re looking for a more comfortable and effective solution to improve your sleep, the Panthera DSAD may be the right choice for you!
