A snoring splint is a medical aid that has been specially developed to reduce or completely prevent snoring at night. It is custom-made and is one of the proven solutions for people who suffer from snoring or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
How does a snoring splint work?
The snoring splint, also known as a lower jaw protrusion splint, works mechanically by moving the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep. This keeps the airways open and prevents the annoying vibrations of the soft palate and the narrowing of the airways that cause snoring.
Advantages of a snoring splint
- Customization: The splint is made to measure to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
- Improved sleep quality: By eliminating snoring noises, both the person affected and their partner can sleep more restfully.
- Non-invasive: The snoring splint is a comfortable alternative to surgical procedures or CPAP devices.
- Easy to use: It is easy to handle and discreet, ideal for use at home or when traveling.
Who is a snoring splint suitable for?
- People who suffer from harmless but disturbing snoring noises
- Patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea who do not want or tolerate CPAP therapy
- People looking for a simple and cost-effective solution
A snoring splint is a simple, effective and patient-friendly way to treat snoring and mild sleep apnoea. It contributes to improving quality of life and helps to make sleep more peaceful and restful.
