Mandibular Advancement Splints for the Treatment of Snoring.
Mandibular advancement splints, like our Sleep Pro 1 and Sleep Pro 2, work by virtue of the simple fact that moving your jaw forward a short distance stops you snoring (this is true for a very large percentage of snorers).
- Mandibular advancement can provide immediate relief from snoring.
- Mandibular advancers are a very good alternative to CPAP, laser treatment and various surgical procedures and have been shown to be effective at treating snoring and low level upper airway obstructions associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OS) and other sleep disorders.
- If a snorer has a normal bite and healthy teeth and gums, then a mandibular advancer may provide very satisfactory results.
- Mandibular advancement splints range in price from about £25 / $50 USD for a boil-and-bite mouthpiece to £400 / $600+ USD for a custom made splint.
- “Boil-and-bite” mouthpieces are normally purchased directly by users and fitted without a doctor or dentist.
- Custom-made splints are normally fitted by a dentist or dental technician. Head & neck surgeons, thoracic consultants, consultant physicians, maxiofacial surgeons, sleep specialists and general practitioners may also be involved in the process.
- Many people find it best to try a cheap boil-and-bite mandibular advancer to see if it works for them, before buying a more expensive, yet better fitting and more comfortable, custom-made mouthpiece.
