Somnowell - Anti Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Device

The Somnowell is the world’s most advanced oral appliance for treating problematic snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. The Somnowell is also used to treat Bruxism and TMJ. It is the only oral appliance that offers a truly effective and comfortable lifetime solution. The Somnowell is made from cast Chrome Cobalt alloy, commonly used by dentists when creating the highest quality dentures, bridges, and crowns. It is impervious to the bacteria and fungi commonly found in acrylic plastic and thermoplastic Mandibular Advancement Appliances, and is suitable for long-term use in the mouth. While comparably priced appliances will last only a fraction of the time, the Somnowell will look and feel exactly the same after decades of use. The Somnowell gently holds your lower jaw in the ‘recovery position’ while you sleep, an ideal method for ensuring a well maintained airway. While other MMAs infringe on tongue space, causing the user discomfort, the Somnowell’s unique lower jaw connecting section gives the tongue free space to move. The Somnowell is so comfortable you won’t even notice you are wearing it. The wearer can talk freely, drink and take medication. The design of the Somnowell takes into account the individual features of each user’s jaw joints, so the appliance can be used as a highly effective treatment for jaw pain. An added benefit of the Somnowell is that it keeps the teeth in position, and the the Somnowell Retainers are currently recommended by specialists as a permanent retainer after orthodontic work.

Each and every Somnowell appliance is designed and manufactured by specialists, and made to exacting standards, for a lifetime of good sleeps.
Please give us a call to discuss how you can start to sleep well again at night.
