SOMNOMED

Snoring/Sleep Apnea Appliance

Snoring isn’t just a noisy nuisance. As well as being loud enough to disturb sufferers and their families, snoring can also interrupt sleep and place pressure on relationships. When snoring is so loud that it disturbs the sleep of snorers and their families, it may be a sign of a related condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Sleep apnea increases a person’s risk for heart disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases.

The Somnomed MAS is a Mandibular Advancement Splint that treats snoring and mild to moderate OSA by moving the lower jaw forward slightly. This forward movement tightens the soft tissue and muscles of the upper airway, which prevents obstruction of the airway while you sleep and vibration of the tissues which is responsible for the snoring sound. The Somnomed MAS is a custom made device that is adjustable. It consists of an upper and lower plate which allows for normal opening and closing.

The Somnomed MAS is a highly effective solution for the majority of patients, to the problem of loud snoring and mild to moderate OSA. Its exceptional levels of patient acceptance, compliance, and treatment efficiency are backed by a large body of clinical research.
