How does it work?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon has developed a system which delivers water to your mouth through a small plastic mouth guard. The rate of water can be adjusted for each patient and no electrical power is needed to run this system. It is portable and fits easily into a bag for travel. While asleep, water is continuously delivered to your mouth, resulting in a better night's rest and increased daytime alertness.
