Snoring Treatment

Sometimes when we sleep, the muscles that hold the airway open relax and partially collapse, obstructing the flow or air slightly.  Air passing through the partially collapsed airway can cause a vibrating sound known as snoring.  Approximately 40% of adults over 40 have snoring issues.  It's more common in men and it worsens with age, increasing weight, asthma, and diabetes.

We are now able to offer you the 'SomnoMed MAS'; for the effective treatment of snoring, and sometimes for the more serious condition known as obstructive sleep apnea.  The SomnoMed MAS is oral appliance, which fits snugly over the upper and lower teeth, much like a small sports mouthguard.  However, unlike a sports mouthguard, it is a precision-made, clinically-tested medical device.

The SomnoMed MAS is comfortable, effective, durable, and a good value.  It’s tailor-made to fit your mouth so as to provide you with as much freedom of jaw, tongue, and lip movement as possible.  You can even speak or drink with it.
