Invisalign® is a series of removable, clear aligners that dentists use to promote an invisible way of straightening teeth without braces.

Somnodent® is a mandibular advancement splint designed to keep the airways open at night. The mandible is a person's lower jaw and such an oral sleep appliance advances this lower jaw to create space in the back of the throat to help keep the airway open.

It has been very successful in the treatment of snoring and sleep disorders.
