SILENSOR SPLINT FOR SLEEP APNEA
Peaceful sleep without breathing interruptions and snoring
Silensor is a custom-made oral appliance designed for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and the reduction of snoring. The therapy is based on precise adjustment of the lower jaw position during sleep, allowing improved airflow and stability of the airways.
At Ortho Rijeka, sleep apnea therapy is planned in collaboration with an otolaryngology specialist to ensure proper indication and effectiveness. Each appliance is individually fabricated following a detailed assessment of jaw position, oral health, and overall health to ensure the therapy is both effective and safe.
WHEN IS SILENSOR SPLINT THERAPY NEEDED?
The Silensor splint is intended for individuals who:
- EXPERIENCE BREATHING INTERRUPTIONS DURING SLEEP AND REGULARLY SNORE
- FEEL MORNING FATIGUE, HEADACHES, OR DRY MOUTH
- HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MILD OR MODERATE OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA
- CANNOT TOLERATE OR DO NOT WISH TO USE A CPAP DEVICE
- ARE LOOKING FOR A DISCREET, SIMPLE, AND PORTABLE SOLUTION
Therapy begins with an examination and assessment of indications. If necessary, collaboration with a sleep medicine specialist or an otolaryngologist is recommended to ensure the therapy is fully aligned with the diagnosis.
Stabilization of the lower jaw
The Silensor splint gently advances the lower jaw forward during sleep, reducing airway narrowing and allowing easier airflow.
Reduction of snoring
The Silensor splint stabilizes the position of the jaw and tongue during sleep, reducing soft tissue vibration and enabling quieter, more peaceful breathing.
Support for mild and moderate apnea
In patients diagnosed with apnea, the appliance can help reduce episodes of breathing interruptions during the night.
Discreet and simple solution
The appliance is small, lightweight, and tailored to your anatomy. It does not require additional devices, cables, or a power source and is suitable for daily use and travel.
THERAPY THAT HELPS WITH SLEEP DISORDERS
OUR APPROACH TO SLEEP APNEA THERAPY
Before fabricating the Silensor splint, a detailed clinical examination and analysis of jaw position are performed. Therapy is planned individually, with emphasis on patient education and interdisciplinary collaboration with a sleep medicine specialist or otolaryngologist.
Sleep-related breathing disorders and snoring affect overall health and significantly impair quality of life. The goal of therapy is to ensure proper breathing and achieve long-term improvement in sleep quality.
