How the SomnoDent™ MAS Works

What Causes Snoring and Sleep Apnea

When the airway narrows or partially collapses snoring results, which is the sound of tissues vibrating. Where there is complete collapse, you have an incidence of sleep apnea, which is when breathing stops altogether.

What the SomnoDent™ MAS does

The SomnoDent™ MAS positions your lower jaw slightly forward of its natural position, which has the effect of tightening the soft flesh (or ‘tissue’) at the back of your throat, which prevents it from collapsing.

The patented fin-coupling mechanism on the lower arch of the SomnoDent splint ensures that your lower jaw (mandible) remains in the correct position, whether you sleep with your mouth open or closed – or open your mouth for any other reason, such as to take a drink.

This freedom to move your jaw up and down, without compromising the effectiveness of the device, is a unique feature of the SomnoDent™ MAS.

Clinical Trials of SomnoDent™ MAS

The SomnoDent™ MAS has been tested in clinical trials, with the results published in prestigious medical journals. It is the only oral appliance with such a body of clinical research to substantiate its effectiveness.
