Sleepwell
Sleeping well with anti-snoring devices
One of the main reasons for snoring is the partial closure of the airway during sleep. When the muscles in the neck relax during sleep, for some people, the soft tissue in the throat vibrates and makes the snoring sound. At The Buckley Practice, we use the Sleepwell™ product, which is a mouthpiece that prevents the lower jaw from dropping back during sleep, thereby preventing the closure of your airways during sleep – an effective stop snoring remedy. It is a custom made mouth piece produced within a laboratory to fit your teeth. It also has a soft inner lining, which allows side to side movement of the lower jaw and most importantly allows the patient to adjust it to maximize effectiveness. High levels of patient comfort meant that during clinical trials over 98% of patients found Sleepwell an acceptable snoring remedy.
This approach addresses a number of important key features and because it is produced by the dentist, it ensures maximum comfort and retention as well as the following:
- Customised to your mouth for maximum comfort
- Highly Successful - a reported 95% success in reducing snoring
- Self-adjustable permitting longer life and total flexibility
- Robust but slim line
- Side to side movement whilst being worn
- Prevents tooth damage from clenching / grinding
- Modification can be made to allow for dental treatment
