Anti-snoring treatment
Though many of us may think of snoring as a mere nuisance this is actually a problem that can have devastating effects on a person's life. It can cause strain in a relationship or contribute to disturbed sleep patterns. Most people tend to snore infrequently and this is usually caused by coughs, colds or their sleeping position, but some people snore on a daily basis and this may be a result of being overweight, allergies or problems concerning the nasal passage.
What can be done?
In many cases, snoring will subside once a person recovers from an illness or changes their sleeping position. However, in cases where an individual snores on a regular basis, treatment may be required. At Clifton Dental Studio we have found Somnowell to be of excellent use in the treatment of snoring.
Somnowell
Somnowell have developed a range of revolutionary long-term treatments for snoring and other conditions, including sleep apnoea, TMJ and teeth grinding. It is the aim of the Somnowell device to restore peaceful nights by holding the lower jaw in the "recovery position", the position that best facilitates breathing by keeping the airway in the optimum position.
The Somnowell device is the latest Mandibular Advancement Appliance. However, unlike other devices, it creates space for the tongue and promotes good oral health because it is impervious to bacteria and fungi. The Somnowell device is also designed to last a lifetime and will look much the same and function in exactly the same manner years after it is first purchased. The appliance is made from cast chrome-cobalt alloy, which is durable and hard-wearing.
The Somnowell anti-snoring treatment device has been designed with comfort and anatomical positioning in mind. It takes the individual's jaw joint into account and, as a result, is proven to be highly effective in the treatment of jaw pain. The device has been designed in conjunction with advice and input from specialists and feedback from patients has been very positive.
