With a vertically integrated model from design to distribution, it serves both direct-to-consumer and healthcare provider channels.

Competitive Landscape
Apnea Sciences competes in the crowded oral appliance therapy market against public companies like SomnoMed and ProSomnus, which offer custom-fit devices through dental channels, as well as numerous direct-to-consumer brands. Its key differentiation is the FDA clearance for OTC use of SnoreRx and positioning ApneaRx as a cost-effective, professional-grade alternative to both CPAP and expensive custom dental lab appliances.
