The EMA (Elastic Mandibular Advancement) oral appliance is a custom-made, removable device used by dentists and sleep specialists in Ottawa for the noninvasive treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). By gently advancing the lower jaw and opening the bite, the EMA appliance improves airflow during sleep and reduces airway obstruction.
Designed for patient comfort and effectiveness, EMA devices help improve sleep quality by reducing snoring and alleviating symptoms of sleep apnea. Unlike bulky CPAP machines, EMA oral appliances are compact, discreet, and do not interfere with mouth breathing — even when nasal passages are congested.
With nine strap lengths (13 mm to 21 mm) and four color-coded elastic tension options, the EMA allows for precise customization of mandibular advancement. The system provides 36 strap combinations, ensuring optimal jaw repositioning while maintaining comfort and natural movement during sleep.
For patients seeking a comfortable, noninvasive alternative to CPAP therapy, the EMA oral appliance is a proven, dentist-prescribed solution for managing snoring and obstructive sleep apnea in Ottawa and across Ontario.
