The vast majority of patients report not feeling anything during their dental procedure, while others report a mild sensation of cold.

Solea Sleep is also virtually painless for the vast majority of CPAP patients.

Many patients also say that their airway feels more open immediately after treatment.

A child can go right back to school or eat right after their appointment because they don't leave with a numb feeling.
