Great Lakes Partners with OrthoApnea to Offer NOA Mandibular Advancement Device

In an exciting collaboration, OrthoApnea has partnered with Great Lakes to offer their mandibular advancement device called NOA to Great Lakes’ customer base. This custom-designed device comprises two individual low-profile splints that securely hold the jaw in a controlled forward position, which is said to facilitate improved breathing and ensure a more comfortable experience for patients.

Bringing NOA to Great Lakes

Great Lakes reportedly offers a comprehensive range of dental products, laboratory appliances, and services. Their offerings cater to various dental professions worldwide, including orthodontics, prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, sleep medicine, and general dentistry.

One of the key features of the OrthoApnea NOA is its flexibility and controlled advancement, which allows for lateral jaw movement while minimizing any potential joint discomfort. The mandibular advancement process is personalized for each patient and is carried out progressively and in a controlled sequence through a series of lower splints.
