ORTHO INDUSTRY NEWS Snoring and Sleep Apnea Appliance New from Great Lakes, the MPowRx™ Snoring and Sleep Apnea Appliance is clinically proven, effective and convenient. This unique non-custom device treats chronic snoring and sleep apnea by repositioning the tongue forward instead of relying on the mandible. MPowRx uses gentle suction, rather than the alveolar ridge or dentition to stay in place, and allows patients to swallow comfortably. Ideal for multiple patient types including endentulous, periodontal prob-lems, TMJ indicated, large tongue, complicated dentition, children and those in combina-tion therapy with CPAP. This appliance is easy to insert, main-tains its shape, and one size fits most. No impression is necessary.
