Silensor-sl
A compact two-splint appliance joined by lateral connectors.
Best for: Snoring patients who want the least bulky appliance
The Silensor-sl consists of one splint for the upper jaw and one for the lower jaw, joined by two lateral connectors that either hold the lower jaw in a preset position or advance it. Because of its compact design, the device does not inhibit breathing through the mouth.
Holding the lower jaw forward keeps the upper airway from narrowing, which slows the air passing through it and reduces the tissue vibration behind the noise. The jaw can still move while the appliance is worn; what it prevents is the lower jaw falling back.
