Protrusion splint AirwayPerfect®
As a medical professional, you know: Sleep apnea significantly impairs quality of life – from daytime fatigue to cardiovascular risks. Not every patient tolerates a CPAP mask.
Dental therapy with the protrusion splint AirwayPerfect offers a scientifically sound alternative, recognized by many insurance companies.
Why the mandibular protrusion splint is a valuable option for doctors
