How SomnoMed® oral appliances treat sleep apnoea?
Snoring and sleep apnoea can be caused by the airway at the back of your throat narrowing while you sleep.
Oral appliances, like our SomnoDent® Avant™, move your jaw and tongue forward while you sleep to open up your airway and treat your sleep apnoea.
Working in partnership with Dr Himanshu Singh a Respiratory/Sleep Disorders Consultant based in the North West.

Why should I get my oral sleep device custom made by a dentist?
Sometimes, your doctor may recommend an off the shelf oral appliance. These are commonly called “boil
and bite” devices, as you put them in boiling water to make the plastic soft, and then bite into them to mould
them to your teeth. However, clinical studies have shown that oral appliances that are custom made for your
mouth and teeth are superior to boil and bite devices. See below a summary of clinical studies.
Snoring
While you are sleeping, snoring can occur
when the soft tissues of your tongue and
neck relax, narrowing your airway.
When the airway gets narrowed, and then
you try to breathe in, it makes the soft tissue
in your throat vibrate, and the noise it makes
is snoring.
Snoring is more likely if you sleep on your
back and with your mouth open.
