A custom-made anti-snoring appliance is designed to be worn during sleep.

It gently repositions the lower jaw to help keep the airway open and reduce snoring.

Getting Started

Once your appliance is made:

– It will be fitted and adjusted to ensure comfort.
– You will be shown how to insert and remove it.
– Instructions will be provided for use and care.

Most patients adapt quickly, but a short adjustment period is normal.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What can be expected with an anti-snoring appliance?

During the first few nights, it is common to notice:

  • Increased saliva or dryness.
  • A feeling of pressure on the teeth.
  • Awareness of the appliance during sleep.

These usually settle as you become accustomed to wearing them.

Are they effective?

  • Many patients notice an improvement in snoring within a short period.
  • In some cases, further adjustment of the appliance is needed.
  • The response can vary depending on the individual.

Follow-up appointments allow us to fine-tune the fit and positioning.

Can adjustments be made afterwards?

The appliance is designed to be:

  • Custom-fitted to your teeth.
  • Comfortable enough for nightly use.
  • Adjustable where needed.

If discomfort persists, adjustments can be made.

What are some daily use and care instructions?

  • Wear the appliance each night.
  • Clean it daily with a toothbrush and water.
  • Store it safely when not in use.

Good maintenance helps ensure longevity and hygiene.

Follow-Up and Review

Regular review is important to:

  • Assess effectiveness.
  • Check the fit of the appliance.
  • Make any necessary adjustments.

This helps ensure the appliance continues to work effectively over time.

Important Considerations

  • The appliance is designed to manage snoring, not cure underlying causes.
  • If symptoms change or worsen, reassessment may be required.
  • If sleep apnoea is suspected, medical review is essential.

Patient takeaway

Most patients adapt well to an anti-snoring appliance and notice an improvement in snoring. A short adjustment period is normal, and regular review helps ensure the appliance remains effective and comfortable.
