Snoring may disturb the sleep of the sufferer and their partner and good sleep is important to overall health and well being.
Snoring may be an indicator of a condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and left untreated OSA may cause excessive daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
A mandibular advancement splint called The SomnoMed MAS ™ is a custom made oral appliance which is worn during sleep hours to aid in the treatment of snoring and mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Treatment involves one initial appointment to take impressions of the upper and lower jaws followed by a second appointment to fit the appliance. In most circumstances a consultation with a medical practitioner or sleep specialist is required prior to proceeding with the construction of a snoring device.
