“PURE COMFORT is what I have experienced wearing the Slide.”
Jay has sleep apnea and during the course of his treatment he has worn five different oral appliances, including the Slide. He found that the Slide stands out because of its small size, silence when worn, and durability.
“The Slide is my #1 Choice. Comfort is King.”
Because Jay works in the dental industry assisting patients with the treatment of their sleep apnea, he understands and addresses the challenges both he and others suffer with the use of oral appliances. His enthusiasm about the benefits he has realized wearing the Slide center around the comfort he has experienced, only with the Slide. He attributes the Slide’s success to a combination of three powerful features:
- NOT Bulky: When you first see the Slide, you are impressed with its low profile. It sits on the edge of the teeth and has a smooth surface. When you wear the Slide, you can close your lips and feel natural wearing it. When you sleep on your side there is nothing poking your cheeks.
- NO Sounds: Until you wear an oral appliance, you may not be aware that the ones with “attached hardware” make noises in your mouth, and in turn, in your head. The Slide was the only answer for one woman I worked with who asked me to STOP the sounds she was experiencing all night long. Why go anywhere else when the Slide is silent due to its unique design.
- NO Breakage: As a personal test for durability, I like to throw the oral appliance at the wall to see what happens. No kidding. I did this with the Slide, throwing it against wall three times, and it passed the test while others did not.
“I love the Slide for its comfort and how it performs.”
Jay summed up his experience with the Slide as being a wonderful product because of the unmatched comfort he experiences. On a scale of 1-10, Jay rated his satisfaction with the Slide as a “12”.
We extend our thanks to Jay for sharing his experience and valuable insights.
