Product Profile: Silent Nite SL

Dental solution for treating sleep-disordered breathing
An estimated 1 in 4 dental patients suffers from sleep-disordered breathing such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, which can significantly affect overall health and quality of life. Glidewell Laboratories’ most popular dental solution for sleep-disordered breathing, the Silent Nite sl oral sleep appliance, is helping patients achieve a better, more restful night’s sleep—more than 400,000 appliances have already been delivered.

The flexible, thin and comfortable Silent Nite appliance exhibits documented clinical success in mitigating or preventing the disruptive, unhealthy effects of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The device’s BPA-free upper and lower appliances have soft inner layers and hard, durable outer layers, with connectors that hold the lower jaw forward in a therapeutic position as determined by the dentist. The connectors are easily interchangeable to provide adjustability if the lower jaw needs to be repositioned, and each case includes extra connectors in varying sizes to help ensure patients never go untreated if components are damaged or go missing.

Each Silent Nite case also includes a bite tab—a morning positioner that aids patients in exercising and realigning the jaw after nighttime mandibular advancement, which helps prevent malocclusion issues by re-establishing proper bite. And for any doctor concerned about potential tooth movement or occlusal changes, the legal document “Informed Consent for Silent Nite—Provisional Mandibular Advancement Device” from dentist–attorney Dr. Ken Berley is available for free download, containing important information for both providers and patients.

The Silent Nite is available as a two-appliance “one for home, one for travel” bundle, so patients can benefit from treatment while at home or away. Whether patients opt to receive one appliance or a two-pack, the Silent Nite?sl is a low-cost leader in treating patients with sleep-disordered breathing.
