SomnoMed MATRx™ is a new technology that enables a sleep laboratory to predict a patient’s target protrusive position. This is the position of the jaw that obstructs breathing during sleep and is the cause of Obstructed Sleep Apnea, the most common sleep apnea cause.
The SomnoMed MATRx™ eliminates many follow up visits of subjective assessments. A highly effective SomnoDent appliance can immediately be created to treat the obstructive sleep apnea. Patients who were not good candidates for other appliances or methods may greatly benefit under this new obstructive sleep apnea technology and therapy.
Targeting the Onset of Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea patients attend a sleep study in which their mandibular (lower jaw) protrusive position and the onset of obstructed sleep apnea are measured with the MATRx. 
During the sleep study the MATRx appliance measures the position of the mandibular and will determine the proper position of the jaw which results in effective treatment of the patient’s OSA.
