Anti-snoring splint
At the Estanislao Planas Dental Clinic, we offer the SomnoMed anti-snoring splint, an effective and personalized solution for treating snoring and sleep apnea. This intraoral device, designed to be comfortable and easy to use, helps improve sleep quality for both the patient and their loved ones by reducing or eliminating snoring and improving nighttime breathing.
Snoring and sleep apnea are problems that affect a large portion of the population and can have a significant impact on overall health. Snoring is caused by the vibration of the soft tissues in the throat when the airway becomes partially obstructed during sleep. Sleep apnea, a more serious condition, occurs when the airway becomes completely blocked, disrupting breathing and affecting nighttime rest. These problems can lead to daytime fatigue, concentration problems, and even more serious health complications such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
The SomnoMed Anti-Snoring Splint is a mandibular advancement splint designed to keep the airway open during sleep. It works by gently advancing the lower jaw, helping to prevent the tongue and soft tissues from blocking the throat, thus facilitating air passage. This device is a comfortable and effective alternative to traditional treatments such as CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), which is often uncomfortable for many patients.
At the Estanislao Planas Dental Clinic, we conduct a detailed study of each case to determine if the SomnoMed anti-snoring splint is the right treatment. This device is custom-made, ensuring a perfect fit for each patient and comfortable use throughout the night. It is also adjustable, allowing its position to be changed to achieve the best possible result.
The fitting process is simple. After an initial evaluation, we take impressions of the patient's mouth to create the custom splint. Once manufactured, fit tests are performed, and instructions for proper use and maintenance are provided. Patients often notice a significant improvement in sleep quality and a reduction in snoring from the first few nights of use.
With the SomnoMed Anti-Snoring Splint, at the Estanislao Planas Dental Clinic, we help you enjoy restful sleep and improve your overall health and well-being.
