A Proven Way to Stop Snoring
 |
Unlike other snoring treatment
devices on the market, the
SomnoDent MAS™ is a precision
instrument which is custom
designed for each person to help
them stop snoring.Snoring can
create irritability and mood
swings and subsequent
relationship problems.
Snoring may however, be the sign
of a serious condition known as
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
|
While not
everyone who snores suffers from
obstructive sleep apnea, SomnoMed
suggests that if you have been heard to
gasp for breath or have sudden spells of
drowsiness during the day, then you
should obtain a referral to a qualified
specialist.
A Practical Treatment for Sleep Apnea
Snoring is more than just a noisy social
nuisance. It may be a sign of a serious
underlying condition known as
Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The SomnoDent
MAS™ can treat both mild to moderate OSA
.OSA is characterised by repeated cycles
of partial or complete collapse of the
upper airway during sleep. This results
in a cessation or reduction of breathing
and a decrease in blood oxygen levels
resulting in typically unremembered
awakenings.
How the SomnoDent MAS™ Works
What Causes Snoring and Sleep Apnea?
When the
airway narrows or partially collapses
snoring results, which is the sound of
tissues vibrating. Where there is
complete collapse, you have an incidence
of sleep apnea, which is when breathing
stops altogether.
What the
SomnoDent MAS™ does
|
A Clinically Tested Oral
Device
The SomnoDent MAS™ is an oral
appliance, which fits over the
upper and lower teeth, much like
a sports mouthguard. However
unlike a sports mouthguard it is
a precision-made,
clinically-tested medical
device. The SomnoDent MAS™
positions your lower jaw
slightly forward of its natural
position, which has the effect
of tightening the soft flesh (or
‘tissue’) at the back of your
throat, which prevents it from
collapsing. |
 |
 |
The patented fin-coupling
mechanism on the lower arch of
the SomnoMed splint ensures that
your lower jaw (mandible)
remains in the correct position,
whether you sleep with your
mouth open or closed – or open
your mouth for any other reason,
such as to take a drink.
This freedom to move your jaw up
and down, without compromising
the effectiveness of the device,
is a unique feature of the
SomnoDent MAS™. |
Three Good Reasons to Choose the
SomnoDent MAS™:
- It’s
comfortable. It is the most
comfortable and discreet mandibular
advancement splint available.
- It’s
effective. Its effectiveness to
treat snoring and mild to moderate
OSA has been clinically validated.
(Note: success in all cases cannot
be guaranteed.)
- It’s
good value. Given the quality,
comfort, likelihood of success,
manufacturer’s warranty and long
life of the appliance, it provides
true value for money.
SomnoDent MAS™ is Comfortable to Wear
You won’t find a more comfortable MAS.
Why? Because it is tailor-made to fit
your mouth; it does not impinge on your
tongue inside your mouth; you have
normal open and close jaw movement; you
can even close your mouth and lips to
avoid a dry throat.
New users sometimes feel some discomfort
in the first few days of wearing it, but
in the majority of cases, such
discomfort passes quickly.
Clinical Trials of SomnoDent MAS™
The
SomnoDent MAS™ has been tested in
clinical trials, with the results
published in prestigious medical
journals. It is the only oral appliance
with such a body of clinical research to
substantiate its effectiveness.
