Anti-snoring Splint
Anti-snoring splint
Here at Clínica Dental Estanislao Planas, we offer the SomnoMed anti-snoring splint — an effective, personalised solution for treating snoring and sleep apnoea. Designed to be comfortable and easy to use, this intraoral device helps improve sleep quality for both patients and their partners by reducing or eliminating snoring and enhancing night-time breathing.
Snoring and sleep apnoea affect a large proportion of the population and can significantly impact overall health. Snoring occurs when soft tissues in the throat vibrate due to a partially obstructed airway during sleep. Sleep apnoea is a more serious condition that occurs when the airway is completely blocked, interrupting breathing and disrupting restful sleep. Both problems can lead to daytime fatigue and difficulty concentrating, as well as more serious health complications such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
The SomnoMed anti-snoring splint is a mandibular advancement device that keeps the airway open while you sleep. It works by gently moving the lower jaw forward, which stops the tongue and soft tissues from blocking the throat and allows air to pass through more easily. This comfortable and effective device is an alternative to traditional treatments such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), which many patients find uncomfortable.
At Clínica Dental Estanislao Planas, we carry out a thorough evaluation of each case to establish if the SomnoMed anti-snoring splint is the appropriate treatment. This custom-made device ensures a perfect fit for each patient, allowing for comfortable use throughout the night. It is also adjustable, enabling fine-tuning of its position to achieve the best possible outcome.
The fitting process is straightforward. Following an initial evaluation, we take impressions of the patient’s mouth to create the custom splint. Once it is ready, we carry out fitting tests and provide instructions on how to use and maintain the splint correctly. Most patients notice a significant improvement in sleep quality and a reduction in snoring within the first few nights of use.
Our clinic can help you enjoy a restful night’s sleep with the SomnoMed anti-snoring splint, improving your overall health and wellbeing.
