A dental mouthpiece for sleep apnea treatment | 
People with sleep apnea can now get a dental mouthpiece as a form of treatment.
The Full Breath Solution is a dental mouthpiece invented by Dr. Bryan Keropian. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is the most commonly recommended treatment for sleep apnea, some people find the machine to be very invasive—it uses a mask that can be obstructive for some individuals.
The dental mouthpiece, on the other hand, is worn by sufferers whenever they sleep and is said to be an effective solution for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.
“Rather than pulling the tongue forward by advancing the jaw, the Full Breath Solution works by utilizing a tail that restrains the tongue from moving upward and backward,” said Dr. Keropian. “The tail lightly depresses the tongue and prevents its movement backward, keeping the airway unblocked. The length of the tail is custom-fitted to each person [by] using advanced 3D dental imaging for precise diagnostics to ensure the most comfortable and effective placement.”
The device does not open the jaw of the individual wearing it, which removes most of the associated side effects of other devices.
