They develop a splint that prevents sleep apnea and annoying snoring

This is a project that was studied by the UMA ] in partnership with Ortoplus an orthodontic society. It is suspected that its official presentation will take place at the end of 2018, after all the clinical trials to which this innovative device was submitted in Madrid and Barcelona.

How does this device prevent sleep apnea and snoring sleep?

Well, it's a splint developed to maintain, during sleep, the mouth in a better position, which prevents the loosening of the muscle that causes snoring. This was declared by Juan Antonio Cabrera a leading researcher who worked for three years on this device.

Today, we know a mask that has a similar operation to the splint that is managed, and works by pumping air under pressure to obtain the same effect, but its disadvantage is that it is not adjusted for each jaw . Therefore, the device designed in Malaga constitutes an excellent breakthrough and even more so because it is manufactured in 3D printing with materials that do not degrade the environment where they are placed.

part, in terms of design, it is necessary to perform an X-ray and in turn, a measurement of the maximum amplitude of each jaw in particular, in order to establish the percentage of pbadage authorized air; eliminating in this way, snoring and apnea completely in the future, will have serious consequences for the person.
