We offer various custom-made anti-snoring solutions and appliances to help reduce or eliminate snoring and suit your individual needs. Anti-snoring devices are designed to keep your airways open during sleep, thus preventing the vibrations that cause snoring, enhancing breathing efficiency and ensuring your body receives adequate oxygen throughout the night.

Snoring can be a disruptive issue, affecting not only the quality of your sleep but also that of your partner. Snoring is caused by the vibration of the soft tissues in the throat when airflow is partially obstructed during sleep. This obstruction can be due to various factors such as relaxed throat muscles, excessive tissue in the throat, or nasal congestion. Fortunately, we offer effective solutions to help reduce or eliminate snoring.

Anti snoring devices are commonly used and have numerous benefits that can have a positive overall effect on your lifestyle and well-being:

• Helps with mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a condition where the airway becomes repeatedly blocked during sleep, reducing or completely stopping airflow.
• Cures insomnia caused by snoring
• Reduces headaches caused by sleep deprivation
• Increases concentration & memory
• Reduces daytime tiredness

Anti-snoring devices can be divided into two main categories: Fixed and Adjustable.

Fixed Anti-Snoring Devices

Fixed anti-snoring devices are designed and pre-set in the appropriate position by our dentist and cannot be adjusted once they are produced.

• Negus Device

  The Negus device is a popular fixed anti-snoring appliance. It is custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and works by gently advancing your lower jaw. This forward positioning helps to keep the airway unobstructed, reducing the likelihood of snoring. While effective for many users. it is important to note that this type of device may not work for everyone, as snoring can have various underlying causes such as nasal congestion, obesity, or sleep apnoea.

Adjustable Anti-Snoring Devices

Adjustable anti-snoring devices offer the flexibility to modify the positioning to better suit your needs. This adaptability can lead to a more comfortable experience and improved effectiveness.

• Sleepwell Device

  The Sleepwell device is a highly regarded adjustable anti-snoring appliance. It allows for incremental adjustments to the lower jaw’s position, enabling users to find the most comfortable and effective setting. This customisable approach can enhance the device’s efficiency and comfort, making it a preferred choice for many individuals.

• SomnoDent Device

  The SomnoDent device is another excellent option within the adjustable category. Known for its comfort and durability, the SomnoDent device provides a high level of customisation. It features a two-piece design that permits easy jaw movement, allowing for natural opening and closing of the mouth while maintaining the lower jaw in a forward position. This flexibility can make a significant difference in user comfort and compliance.

It’s crucial to remember that these appliances may not be as effective for everyone. Snoring can result from a variety of factors and it’s always advisable to consult with your dentist to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation.
