# ApnoMed

> ApnoMed is a comprehensive platform connecting patients and professionals with breakthrough airway treatment technologies. The platform spans pediatric prevention, oral appliance management, and advanced airway treatments for sleep-disordered breathing, supported by a network of 400+ trained providers and integrated training in airway, TMJ, orthodontics, and sleep-disordered breathing.

## Products

- [ApnoDent](https://apnomed.com/apnodent): FDA-cleared oral appliance for sleep apnea management. A handcrafted, custom-fitted CPAP alternative that uses mechanosensory activation rather than forceful mechanisms to support airway patency. Designed to minimize unwanted bite changes and engineered for long-term bite stability, with an internal solid-wire surgical-steel framework built to resist heavy clenching forces (built for bruxers). Backed by evidence-based outcomes published in the Journal of Dental Sleep Medicine.
- [ApnoTX](https://apnomed.com/apnotx): Oral appliance designed to work alongside active orthodontic treatment (MSEs, expanders, aligners). Provides nighttime support for sleep-disordered breathing and joint-focused comfort while teeth are moving. The adjustable occlusal design adapts as dentition changes, helping support a comfortable and stable experience for patients with joint sensitivity. ApnoTX is **not** a surgical procedure.
