Toronto: Oral Appliance Therapy

There are several types of oral appliances that can treat snoring and sleep apnea. Since every patient has individual needs, Dr. Priemer utilizes a variety of appliances that have different strengths and weaknesses to obtain an optimal result. Although Dr. Priemer is familiar with many appliances, he focuses on SomnoMed MAS™, The Silencer®, and The TAP 3. In certain circumstances he may also recommend a tongue retaining device. Other devices he may use are the SUAD or EMA appliance and he is continually evaluating new appliance designs.

SomnoMed MAS™
The Somnomed™ MAS is an effective treatment for both mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Its unique design permits the user to open and close their mouth normally making it very comfortable to wear and can be used to treat severe obstructive sleep apnea.

The Silencer®
The Silencer® Professional is constructed from acrylic and elastomeric dental materials. It requires the services of a dental laboratory trained in the fabrication of The Silencer® appliances.

The TAP 3
The Thornton Adjustable Positioner® (TAP®) is an oral appliance similar to an athletic mouth guard that is worn while sleeping. Developed with advanced technology, the TAP® reduces sleep apnea and associated health risks without the need for surgery, medications, or other more cumbersome therapy.
