A custom-made anti-snoring appliance (also known as a mandibular advancement appliance) can reduce snoring and can be suitable for some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

OSA treatment

Snoring happens when the muscles in your nose, mouth and throat relax during sleep, narrowing the airway and causing the surrounding tissues to vibrate as you breathe. It can sometimes be linked to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a condition where the airway partially or completely collapses during sleep. This causes breathing to stop and start, often with gasping or choking sounds, leading to very disturbed sleep.

Both snoring and OSA can have a serious impact, causing daytime sleepiness and increased stress levels. OSA has been found to contribute to more serious health conditions such as increased mental health issues, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

What does the treatment involve?

Many people don’t realise that dentists can help with snoring and sleep apnoea, so they often visit their GP first. If sleep apnoea is diagnosed, a GP may refer you to hospital for further assessment. . At Capel Dental Care, we’re able to directly provide a solution that can resolve the symptoms of snoring and or mild to moderate OSA, following a full assessment.

We use the Somnowell appliance, which is:

  • Discreet and worn at night
  • Custom-made to fit your mouth
  • Designed to gently hold the lower jaw forward

This helps keep the airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and improving airflow.

    The care from both the dentist and the hygienist is fabulous. My teeth after their recent clean by Christine look like new teeth, and my mouth and gums now feel and look really healthy. I also recently had to visit for a chipped tooth and I was very pleased with the solution and treatment from the dentist Dr Stephan. They are both so friendly and professional, as are everyone at the practice. I am really glad to be a patient at Capel Dental.

    Fantastic atmosphere. I have a huge phobia of dentists and apart from an emergency at another dentist, I hadn't been for 40 years. The staff were very friendly and I felt at ease, the dentist explained everything in detail and I would recommend this dentist and the practice highly to anyone looking for a dentist .
