Snoring
A condition that affects over 40% of the UK adult population, many people are unaware that there are viable dental solutions available for snoring.
FAQs
Why would you need treatment for snoring?
Well, its not just a nuisance; it indicates breathing difficulties at night that can have serious implications for your health:
- Reduced sleep quality negatively impacts your energy, focus and mood
- It can be a sign of sleep apnoea which increases your risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes
- If you sleep with a partner, snoring can significantly affect their sleep quality and overall health
What treatment is available?
The Sleepwell is a dental appliance, worn at night that stops or reduces your snoring. It consists of two pieces and is designed to slot over both dental arches.
How does it work?
The oral device has a small mechanism that holds the lower jaw in a forward position. This prevents the airway from collapsing and the tissues at the back of the throat from vibrating, reducing the snoring sound.
What does it cost?
The cost of the appliance is £1000.
Does it work?
Yes – it is the most clinically proven dental device available for the treatment of snoring. Unique design features mean you can adjust the position of your lower jaw yourself for optimum comfort and effectiveness.
How do I start treatment?
You will need to book an initial appointment with Dr Christopher Merrill to diagnose your condition and have a scan.
You will be asked to complete a pre-screening questionnaire that will help Mr Merrill identify the severity of your snoring. You will then need a second appointment to collect your Sleepwell and learn how to use and adjust it.
