WHAT IS
MATRx plus™
MATRx plus™ is an easy-to-use at-home sleep test, approved by the FDA, that tells us:
1
Whether you have sleep apnea
2
If an oral appliance is your best treatment option
Why do we use MATRx plus™?
MATRx plus™ is the only system that can predict whether an oral appliance is the best course of treatment. The result? We can make the right therapy recommendation for our patient immediately. NO wasted time and NO wasted money.
The device allows our patient to take a sleep test in the comfort of their own home, providing accurate results in just a few nights. The test lets us know whether the patient’s OSA will be effectively treated with an oral appliance and what will be the most effective therapy position.

HOW DOES IT WORK
While the patient sleeps, sensors record data about their breathing pattern, snoring, blood oxygen, heart rate, and sleep position. There are also temporary dental trays that move the patient’s jaw in small increments throughout the night to keep the airway open. All the data collected by the monitor helps the doctor understand not only if the patient has sleep apnea, but also what is their best treatment course and therapy position.

RELIEF IS AVAILABLE
There is good news, though. We have a solution for sleep apnea sufferers that can help them sleep better and improve their quality of life. Oral appliances are a treatment we use for adults who can not tolerate CPAP therapy or would like an alternate therapy.
Research shows that oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Patients wear the oral appliance only at night during sleep. They support your jaw in a forward position to help maintain and open upper airway. Many patients find the oral appliance more comfortable than a CPAP mask. Additional benefits of an oral appliance include easy portability, no associated noise and they are easy to care for. They are an optimal choice for patients for travel often or enjoy outdoor activities.
