First-of-its-kind customized oral appliance therapy device provides a more efficient and comfortable alternative to CPAP with at-home molding and implementation.
Irvine, United States - April 21, 2021 /PressCable/ —
GoPAPfree, a dental-sleep provider of oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, has launched the O2Vent Optima, a highly effective and more convenient alternative to CPAP therapy. This patented appliance is the only device with integrated airway technology that increases the response rate to sleep apnea therapy by 40% compared to traditional mandibular advancement devices. Clinical trials also found that this is the only device with a 100% response rate to snoring.
The O2Vent Optima device is 3D printed for a precision fit that is unique to each individual. GoPAPfree.com is the only site delivering dentist guided oral appliance therapy from the comfort and safety of a patient’s own home. GoPAPfree’s delivery care model is similar to dental aligner companies that ship mold impression kits straight to the home – reducing costs and increasing access. GoPAPfree also provides a free consultation to patients interested in exploring non-CPAP treatment.
The O2Vent Optima is FDA approved and backed by peer reviewed studies. It is the only non-invasive innovation for mild to moderate sleep apnea to enter the market in decades other than surgery. The device is suitable for all patients who qualify for oral appliance therapy pand especially beneficial for those suffering with nasal obstruction, and mouth breathing. O2Vent Optima is the only device to treat the entire upper airway such as the tongue, soft palate and lateral walls. The device is lightweight and discreet with no hoses, masks, or machines or need for power.
Nasal obstruction affects between 30-50% of sleep apnea patients and its symptoms are increased when lying down. Traditionally, sleep apnea patients who are identified with having nasal obstruction have not been considered to be a good candidate for oral appliances and are routinely prescribed CPAP. This is because the natural reaction of not being able to breathe through your nose is to mouth breathe. 50-60% of those prescribed CPAP therapy quit using it within the first year, due to the inability to tolerate the therapy.
Patients who struggle with their CPAP therapy and who demonstrate mouth breathing are often recommended full face mask therapy which leads to higher levels of pressure and claustrophobia. Full face masks are also reported to push the jaw back. Causing further airway collapse, this leads to the need for higher pressure and increases the chance of CPAP abandonment. With O2Vent Optima’s airway technology, patients will experience device-breathing as opposed to mouth breathing, allowing for further support of the upper airway.
“We are very excited to announce the availability of the O2Vent Optima device and its delivery care model into the US market,” states Christopher Hart, Founder of GoPAPfree and inventor of the O2Vent Optima. “As a dentist and sufferer of sleep apnea, none of the existing CPAP solutions were a good fit for me. Out of desperation, I took my professional and personal knowledge to invent something that was both effective and comfortable. The positive impact of a consistent good night’s sleep is incredible to experience. I hope to bring that life-changing result to anyone who suffers from sleep apnea.”
O2Vent Optima positions the lower jaw forward to a comfortable range while also allowing the integrated airway channel to bypass nasal congestion and other areas of airway collapse, such as from the tongue, soft palate and lateral walls. The device comes assembled with ‘soft’ strength connector bands; a dental healthcare professional is involved along the continuum of care.
Most insurance plans provide coverage for a sleep therapy device while health savings accounts can be used as well. Flexible payment plans are available for any out-of-pocket costs if needed. The O2Vent Optima is priced at $1,995, or $95 a month with a $595 down payment.
