Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea can be treated safely and effectively with the EMA oral appliance.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine now recommends oral appliances such as EMA as a front line of treatment for snoring and sleep apnea and in cases where CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) has not been tolerated.
EMA works by opening the bite and gently advancing the mandible (or jaw) with elastic straps to increase airway space.
EMA offers advantages not found in other oral appliances:
-
- You can talk and even drink water while wearing it
- It is completely free of metal and the EMA elastic straps are latex free
- You can easily change the EMA elastic straps yourself; no additional trips to the dentist needed
The first step to a better night’s sleep
EMA elastic straps come in 9 different lengths allow for 1 mm advancement of the mandible and have 4 different strengths
The shorter the EMA elastic straps, the farther the mandible is advanced.
Thickness Requirements
Minimum thickness of appliance: 1.5mm

Testimonials
“For years I had accepted chronic fatigue as a natural progression of aging, not realizing that the lack of restful sleep was the real problem. I still remember vividly the first morning after I wore my EMA. It was the best night’s sleep I’d had in years.”
