- Mandible Advancement Braces With Movable Positioning Hooks
Movable upper and lower brace hooks keep the mandible advanced without rigid locking, reducing condyle discomfort while maintaining airway opening.
- Digitally Milled Mandibular Splints for Precise Sleep Apnoea Titration
Digital CAD milling fixes fin positions for reproducible mandibular advancement, improving sleep apnoea titration, comfort, and durability.
- Oropharyngeal Adipose Cryolysis for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Temperature-controlled cryolysis selectively removes oropharyngeal fat to improve airflow in obstructive sleep apnea without harming nearby tissue.
- Tongue Suction Anchor With Adjustable Vacuum for Sleep Airway Support
A vacuum tongue anchor applies adjustable anterior force during sleep to limit posterior tongue collapse and reduce airway obstruction.
- Polymeric Oral Appliance Strut for Temporary Mandibular Advancement
A monolithic polymer strut gives provisional sleep apnea appliances immediate mandibular advancement while allowing jaw movement and secure tray joining.
- Adjustable Dental Tray Structure for Custom Mandibular Advancement
A two-layer overmolded dental tray uses reformable thermoplastic, bite pads, and adjustable members to fit varied dentition for sleep apnea treatment.
- Buccal Oral Appliance With Treatment Arm for Bruxism Inhibition
A buccal oral appliance uses a treatment arm to trigger discomfort at biting thresholds, discouraging sleep bruxism without invasive care.
- Oral Jaw-Fastening Appliance for Sleep Apnea Airway Opening
A compact oral appliance uses interdental fastening members to hold the jaws fixed, keeping the airway open without bulky CPAP masks.
- Sleep-Worn Oral Retainer for Dysphagia Tongue Pressure Training
Nightly wear of a tongue-constraining oral retainer builds tongue pressure during sleep, improving swallowing in dysphagia patients with low exercise compliance.
- Oropharyngeal Cryolysis for Selective Sleep Apnea Fat Reduction
Selective cooling of oropharyngeal fat relieves airway blockage in sleep apnea while preserving nearby muscle and nerve tissue.
- Adaptive Mouthpiece Jaw Opening for Sleep Breathing and Swallowing
Gentle, sensor-adjusted jaw opening supports mouth breathing during sleep while still allowing swallowing and limiting dryness or drooling.
- Oropharyngeal Fat Cryolysis for Airway Obstruction Relief
Controlled cooling targets tongue-base and soft-palate fat to relieve sleep apnea obstruction while preserving nearby muscle and nerve function.
- Oropharyngeal Cryolysis for Selective Adipose Removal in Sleep Apnea
Controlled cooling above damaging thresholds selectively removes oropharyngeal fat to relieve sleep apnea while protecting muscle.
- Magnetic Sleep Trainer Attachment for Strap-Free Back-Roll Prevention
Magnetic garment attachment replaces twisting straps, keeping a back-mounted sleep trainer secure while improving comfort during sleep.
- Time-Delayed Mandible Positioning Using Body-Heat Shape Memory Actuation
Body heat triggers a delayed shape-memory jaw advance that enlarges the airway after sleep onset, improving comfort without oral electronics.
- Adjustable Underlay Positioning for Sleep and Respiratory Support
Selective inflatable underlay segments shift users toward an intended sleep position, improving comfort and supporting respiratory therapy.
