Designed for maximum comfort, the Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance with Glidewell Hinge™ treats sleep-disordered breathing quickly and effectively.
Stop Snoring. Start Living!
Obstructive sleep apnea is a breathing disorder where the airway completely collapses and airflow is obstructed. People with this condition often wake up gasping for air or choking in the middle of the night. The Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance with Glidewell Hinge™ is designed to gently shift the lower jaw forward in a therapeutic position during sleep, which activates the airway muscles and ligaments to prevent the airway from collapsing. The appliance is flexible, thin and comfortable to wear throughout the night, helping patients achieve a more restful sleep and enhanced quality of life. Each Silent Nite case includes an AM Aligner to aid patients in exercising and realigning the jaw after nighttime mandibular advancement.
PDAC-Approved for Medicare: E0486
The Silent Nite with Glidewell Hinge is eligible for Medicare reimbursement under code E0486. This benefit further expands opportunities for dentists to provide therapy to patients suffering from snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
AM Aligner is a product of Airway Management Inc.
Patient Satisfaction
Oral appliance therapy (OAT) is very effective in treating patients with sleep-disordered breathing, with a compliance rate shown to be as high as 90% over a 2.5-year period.1
OAT is associated with greater patient satisfaction than nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.2
In a randomized crossover trial comparing OAT to CPAP in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, about 81% preferred OAT.3
Improved Health
Among patients with obstructive sleep apnea, both continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and mandibular advancement devices (MADs) were associated with reductions in blood pressure. Network meta-analysis did not identify a statistically significant difference between the blood pressure outcomes associated with these therapies.4
A mandibular advancement device for obstructive sleep apnea reduces nocturnal blood pressure in women.5
Patient Satisfaction
