The SomnoDent® sleep appliance is a highly effective solution for the majority of patients suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

The SomnoDent is a Mandibular Advancement Splint that treats Obstructive Sleep Apnea by moving the lower jaw slightly forward. This movement tightens the soft tissue and muscles of the upper airway, which prevents obstruction while you sleep.

The SomnoDent also prevents the tissues of the upper airway from vibrating as air passes over them, which is the major cause of snoring.

Its exceptional levels of patient acceptance and compliance as well as treatment efficacy are backed by a large body of clinical research.
