Snoring Appliances

Treatment Options

Snoring appliances (also known as Mandibular Advancement / Repositioning Devices) are a discreet, portable and minimally invasive solution for patients who suffer with snoring and sleep disordered breathing issues. They work by gently and quietly ensuring that the jaw is in an optimal position allowing you to rest and breathe easily while you sleep and ensuring that the sound of snoring is minimised and less of an issue. What’s more, a snoring appliance can also help you get better quality sleep which in turn has multiple benefits for daytime function, overall health and quality of life.

How do I know if I need a Snoring Appliance?

There are multiple reasons that may prompt you to look for snoring solutions. One of the most common is comments from partners about snoring at night! Other factors may include symptoms associated with obstructive sleep apnoea. Many sleep apnoea patients who already have and use a CPAP machine at night will also seek to have a custom snoring appliance made so that they can use it as a more portable and discreet alternative when travelling away from home. Oral appliance therapy is the preferred treatment of hundreds of thousands of people with snoring and sleep apnoea difficulties because their devices are easy-to-use, require little maintenance, and offer quick and lasting symptom relief.

What’s involved?

At NCOFP, our process begins with a comprehensive assessment, considering your medical history and a thorough clinical assessment and examination. Should you decide to move forward with treatment, you'll typically embark on a two-visit journey. The initial visit involves taking impressions of your upper and lower teeth, accompanied by a simple procedure to capture the relationship between them. During the second visit, Dr. Chah personally fits the appliance, which is designed to be used exclusively during sleep and provides personalised care instructions for your unique needs. A follow-up appointment at a later stage ensures the device is calibrated for seamless integration and addresses any potential concerns.

Each device is meticulously tailored to meet stringent international standards. Collaborating with trusted dental labs guarantees optimal results for our patients. Among our highly sought-after snoring solutions are the SomnoDent, Orthoapnea, Prosomnus and Panthera devices.
