The O₂Vent^TM devices are included in the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Register. The 510K clearance numbers are O₂Vent^TM Mono – K160234, O₂Vent^TM T – K161832 and  O₂Vent^TM W – K171316.

Oral or mandibular advancement devices – like the O₂Vent^TM are emerging as an accepted alternative treatment for sleep-disordered breathing conditions with recent studies showing similar long-term health outcomes1. The recent Oventus clinical trial showed that 100 percent of patients experienced a significant reduction in snoring and an improvement in AHI with 82 percent of patients eliminating snoring completely and 76 percent of patients reducing their AHI by more than half2. Oventus are pleased to announce the first peer-reviewed clinical data was published at the AADSM 25th Anniversary Meeting in Denver in June 2016.

The early design of the O₂Vent^TM has been used for some time in private clinical practice. Developed in 2013, Oventus conducted a pilot study on the design with promising results. After further refinement and in particular using 3D printing technology, the device has been improved to be more comfortable with a more compact device.

By following the instructions for use that is provided with the Oventus kit, the O₂Vent^TM should remain in good condition. After each time you use your device, rinse it in lukewarm water. Clean your device using a toothbrush (not the same one you use to clean your teeth with as toothpaste can damage your device). Shake as much water off your device as possible and dry with a clean tissue or towel and store in your storage box.

Twice a week, clean your device more thoroughly using the provided cleaning device and effervescent cleaning tablets provided with your device. Half to three quarter fill the tub with water and place the tablet and your device in tub ensuring it is completely submerged. Leave in for 15 minutes. Rinse both the device and the tub well in warm water and dry as you do daily.

If you have any questions about care and maintenance of your device, please call us or email support@o2vent.com

Rebates for the O₂Vent^TM are available through private health insurers. If you are required to have X-rays as part of your treatment plan, these may also be rebatable through your private health insurance.

You must contact your health insurer to find out the rebate which may vary between funds and policy.

The O₂Vent^TM is a custom made medical device, designed specifically for each patient. It is now generally accepted that custom fabricated oral appliances are better tolerated, remain in place during sleep and are more efficacious compared to cheaper off the shelf oral appliances.

The O₂Vent^TM device is fitted and delivered under the supervision of a dentist, and is available from an Oventus Trained Clinician. Total treatment cost is approximately $3000 including device, and related dental consults and procedures. However final costs should be discussed with your Oventus Trained Clinician.

To obtain an O₂Vent^TM, the process is relatively simple but takes between four to six weeks to manufacture and deliver your custom-made mouthguard.

You must first register online for free at oventusmedical.com and Oventus will contact you to discuss your sleep history and if suitable, direct you to an Oventus Trained Clinician who will review the information and determine the best course of treatment for your condition. If necessary, you may need a diagnostic sleep study. If your clinician recommends an O₂Vent^TM, impressions of your teeth and a bite registration will be taken and your device can be manufactured from these records.

Like all oral appliances that bring the jaw forward, the O₂Vent^TM stabilises the jaw position and brings the tongue forward to reduce airway collapse. In addition, the unique airway allows for breathing through the device to bypass obstruction in the nose which can contribute to snoring and sleep-disordered breathing.

1. Airway
   The O₂Vent^TM has an airway about the size of a healthy human nose incorporated into it. The air enters the airway and is delivered to the back of the oral cavity so patients can breathe through the device while maintaining an oral seal.
2. Small and streamlined
   The O₂Vent^TM is 3D printed in medical grade titanium which facilitates its lightweight, thin wall and complex hollow structure incorporating its unique airway. This allows us to build an airway into a more streamlined device that is less than 5mm thick as it passes between the teeth – it’s about the size of a standard mouthguard.
3. Lightweight
   The uniquely-designed mouthguard weighs approximately 35 grams dependent on customised design.
4. Comfort
   The O₂Vent^TM is lined with a medical grade, polymer liner to maximise patient comfort. The design of this customised device comfortably fits around your teeth, and provides ample space to accommodate the tongue.

If you are interested in the O₂Vent^TM, call us to discuss your situation.

The O₂Vent^TM is available through Oventus Trained Clinicians – dentists who have undergone the training required to assess your suitability to O₂Vent^TM treatment, and take bite registration and impressions of the top and bottom teeth. We are accrediting Clinicians frequently and adding to our existing network. Currently, Clinicians are located in the following states, but please contact us to see where the most convenient site is for your location.

Oventus Pty Ltd has launched a global company initiative to unify the brand identity across its ranges of products. As part of this process, from May 2016 the Oventus Clearway Device is now rebranded to O₂Vent Mono. This change will be reflected on device packaging, labeling and promotional materials. The O₂Vent Mono is still manufactured to the same high quality, but now with a new name.

The O₂Vent^TM devices are included in the ARTG (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods), O₂Vent^TM Mono – ARTG 230890 and O₂Vent^TM T – ARTG 275667.

Sleep physicians often recommend a sleep study before an oral appliance is prescribed (to determine the diagnosis), and after the oral appliance is used to determine if it is. A diagnostic sleep study resulting in a diagnosis of a sleep-disordered breathing condition is necessary to be eligible for any private health insurance rebates. Please talk to your Oventus Trained Clinician or GP to arrange this.

The O₂Vent^TM makes a slight noise when the patient breathes through it. Patients and their partners find it far quieter than snoring or alternative breathing devices.

The O₂Vent^TM bypasses the nose and soft palate and prevents the tongue obstructing so weak throat muscles are not an issue when breathing in and out using the O₂Vent^TM.

If the patient suffers from lateral collapse of the pharyngeal areas, the appliance will help prevent collapse by allowing air to enter that region unobstructed and with good flow. However, the O₂Vent^TM does not pump air into these areas. In cases where lateral collapse is severe, patients are advised to consult their healthcare professional. Positive airway pressure machines would be a better option in these cases.

The airway in the O₂Vent^TM is fully enclosed from the intake at the front of the mouth to the pharynx at the back of the mouth so the air doesn’t come into contact with the mouth as the patient breathes through it. There is always an oral seal. It is not possible for the patient to mouth breathe with the device in place. It does, however, provide a second “nose” for the patient to breathe through if they cannot get enough air due to nasal congestion or obstruction. It converts mouth breathers to “pseudo” nose breathers.

The O₂Vent^TM sits between the teeth and the cheeks. It does not extend over the palate or the tongue so we have not had any issues with patients gagging from it and we have treated some very severe gaggers.

With any oral appliance on the market, studies show that more than 75 percent of people with severe sleep-disordered breathing improve their sleep significantly1. About 54 percent improve to measure an AHI level of less than 10. Of those who do not improve to less than 10, 21 per cent of these will improve their AHI level by at least half1.

More than 1000 people are now using the O₂Vent^TM Mono. The Oventus clinical trial reported an average usage of the device six nights per week and an average of seven hours per night, resulting in a compliance of 82.8%2. This study also showed that 100 percent of patients experienced a significant reduction in snoring and an improvement in AHI with 82 percent of patients eliminating snoring completely and 76 percent of patients reducing their AHI by more than half2.

Yes. The O₂Vent^TM does not prevent you from still breathing through the nose, but provides an additional low resistance airway through the device as well. Although counterintuitive, the O₂Vent^TM actually prevents oral breathing.
