[Dental Staffing Platform]
Toothio
Toothio is a staffing service that aims to create permanent hiring solutions for practices by matching them with vetted dental professionals. Co-founded by Ian Prendergast, Toothio was created to address the staffing issues that the industry faces. Practices can create an office profile to help Toothio find the best fit for whatever that practice needs. The practice then posts a shift and its pay rate, and then Toothio will do the rest, matching the practice with the right dental professional to suit their needs. Toothio handles payment and taxes, and professionals can be utilized on a full-time basis, making it more cost effective than hiring full-time.
[Sleep Appliance]
Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with Glidewell Hinge
Glidewell’s Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance with Glidewell Hinge™ combines to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring.

It is made of surgical stainless steel and is micro-adjustable to therapeutic jaw positioning inside or outside of the mouth. The Hinge device uses a bilateral compression that pushes the jaw into position while also incorporating elastics to soften jaw activity. This is said to encourage closed-mouth nasal breathing without sacrificing patient comfort.
