Quietsleep.com launches online oral appliance rating system.

August 12, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Quietsleep.com, the premier online resource for oral appliance therapy for snoring and sleep apnea, today launched a means for those using oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnea to rate their appliance.

Oral appliance therapy is a non-invasive treatment modality for snoring and sleep apnea provided by dentists specially trained in this technique. At this time, there are well over 40 different appliances that have been developed, most approved by the FDA.

While scientific research continues on the efficacy of these appliances, to this date there has been no way for users of oral appliances to voice their opinion on how well the appliances have worked for them. Quietsleep.com has now provided this service online at its web site. Quietsleep.com acknowledges that in no way is this rating system scientifically valid but feels that it will provide valuable insight into subjective feelings about oral appliances and oral appliance therapy. Quietsleep.com encourages both patients and dentists to particpate in this rating system for the benefit of all.

Quietsleep.com also features a "Find a Dentist" listing of dentists who provide oral appliance therapy for patients and a "Find a Laboratory" listing for dentists who wish to construct the appliances. The site also contains photographs and decriptions of over 30 different appliances, an online forum, and marketing opportunities for both professionals and businesses in the sleep field.
