New West introduces EndSnorZ Sleep Appliance

New West Dental Lab, a full-service dental laboratory, has announced the launch of the EndSnorZ Sleep Appliance.

The new addition to the lab’s family of mandibular advancement devices (MADs) provides dentists with a 3D-printed option to treat patients with sleep apnoea.

Available exclusively from New West, the new Mandibular Advancement Device is a patient-specific product that is adjustable in 0.5 mm increments across a 10 mm range to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). 

CAD/CAM and 3D printing technologies

“I’m pleased to announce the availability of the EndSnorZ Sleep Appliance,” said Hollie Taylor, CDT, New West General Manager. 

“This device reflects our commitment to collaborating with our dentist customers and innovating the tools and techniques that help deliver the highest possible level of care for dental patients. 

“The new EndSnorZ appliance builds on the latest cutting-edge CAD/CAM processes as well as 3D printing technologies to deliver an exceptional dental experience for both the clinician and patient.”

As with any MAD device, the EndSnorZ appliance is designed to prevent the vibration and partial airway collapse that creates the snoring sound. It also treats OSA by defending the airway from complete collapse. The dental treatment of snoring and sleep apnoea requires a trained dentist to position the jaw during sleep so that the tissues, muscles and ligaments of the upper airway have slight tension. 

Working through tension

All MADs, including the EndSnorZ, have a similar method of action. Upper and lower nightguards of the appliance have the same fit, form and function that dentists who treat snoring and sleep apnea are familiar with. 

According to New West, the differences lie in the orientation and material for the connector arms. 

“EndSnorZ connector arms work through traction, gently pulling the jaw into position. This traction also tends to hold the mouth closed and prevents the jaw from collapsing during sleep, which would otherwise obstruct the airway,” said the press release.

Fit, form and function

“The EndSnorZ appliance encourages closed-mouth, quiet nasal breathing, increases patient comfort and provides a more restful sleep,” said Taylor.

“Success in the practice of dental sleep medicine requires durable materials and precise, predictable fit, form and function.

“The EndSnorZ appliance fills this requirement. Furthermore, it is affordably priced at $247 and it includes our standard two-year MAD warranty. This device provides many benefits for dentists interested in growing their practice with oral appliance therapy.”
