The D-SAD is a dental appliance to treat snoring and/or sleep apnea.

How It Works

Indeed, the snoring and/or sleep apnea problem is due to a collapsing of the upper airway caused by the muscles of the throat relaxing during sleep. To maintain an adequate respiratory flow, the person asleep must consequently make an effort to breathe. To open the upper airway, the appliance moves the lower jaw forward to a comfortable position thus enabling you to breathe during your sleep.

Snoring

The soft structure of the throat vibrates as air is forced through a narrow airway, which produces the snoring sound.

Sleep Apnea

The soft structure completely obstructs the airway. The patient stops breathing for more than 10 seconds and sometimes this can happen over 30 times per hour.

The Solution

The Panthera D-SAD moves and maintains the lower jaw in a forward position. Air can flow normally.

The Panthera D-SAD is prescribed by a team of physicians and dentists. The appliance is recommended for patients who snore, have mild or moderate sleep apnea, or who refuse or cannot tolerate the CPAP¹.
