What makes the Aer Dorsal so good?

The Aer Dorsal is a custom oral mouthpiece that is a simple, effective treatment for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), and bruxism.

The appliance is digitally designed and laser 3D printed, ensuring an accurate fit every time. Thanks to its sleek, thin design, this oral device is comfortable to wear and easy to keep clean.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Aer Dorsal repositions the lower jaw with interchangable nylon fins.

As a result, the hyoid bone (located at the base of the tongue) is moved forward, allowing the airway to remain open.

Additionally, use of the Aer Dorsal is supported by the Aer Shield, which uses negative pressure to hold the tongue in the roof of the mouth.

Every Aer Dorsal is unique: a personal sleep 'mouth-guard' tailored to your teeth. Before the device is made, your dentist will assess your airway to find the best position for your lower jaw. The Aer Dorsal will be manufactured according to this assessment so that your airway remains open while you sleep.

WHY IS THE AER DORSAL DIFFERENT?

Interchangeable fins allow for the easy adjustment of the lower jaw position where you need it.

The fins incorporate a novel fin slip avoidance system.

You can move your lower jaw while retaining the optimal jaw position to alleviate your OSA and snoring.

The Aer Shield helps the muscles of the throat and the tongue to keep the airway clear.
