The Harmony Story, by Dr. Amy Urban DMD

I am Amy Urban DMD, CEO and founder of the Harmony Appliance.  I am also a dentist trained in dental sleep medicine.  After being diagnosed with sleep apnea, I started using a CPAP machine.  When I slept, the sleep was amazing.  Unfortunately, I would be woken, multiple times a night, with my mouth being blown open by the pressurized air.  My mouth was so dry, it was painful.  I soon discovered many patients in my practice, using CPAP machines, were having the exact same problems and there was no solution available to help them. This is why I created the Harmony Appliance.

The current standard of care for treatment of sleep apnea isn’t working.  The CPAP compliance rate is less than 30%.  The most common reasons for this are: mask leaks which occur in 80% of patients and dry mouth which occurs in 50% of patients.  Studies from the NIH show mouth opening during therapy is the primary reason for both of these events.

The Harmony Appliance is the first solution that addresses the root causes of problems with CPAP therapy.  It keeps the mouth closed, at the source of opening.

The Harmony Appliance is the first solution that addresses the root causes of problems with CPAP therapy.  It keeps the mouth closed, at the source of opening, preventing dry mouth and mask leaks, ensuring comfortable, effective therapy every night.

The Harmony Appliance will be available after further regulatory testing.
