Many sleep apnea/snoring patients benefit from a snoring appliance, which looks like a mouth guard, and is comfortable and effective against snoring.
Snoring is a common problem that affects many people, both men and women, though it’s more common in men. Indeed, studies have shown that around one in three people are regular snorers, and the problem only becomes more pronounced as people get older and gain more weight. Some lifestyle factors, such as drinking alcohol, smoking, overeating, and carry extra weight can all make snoring worse.
If you suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (referred to as OSA), then it’s likely that you’ll struggle to get a restful night of sleep. This is because this condition causes the airways to become blocked, which interrupts your breathing. Happily, there’s a solution. At the Ealing Dental Clinic, we’re able to offer a snoring appliance that can help manage snoring — and put you back on the path towards a restful night. After a visit to our dentist in Ealing, you’ll be able to wear a Somnomed sleeping device, a dental device that looks and feels like a mouth guard you’d wear during sports. This is an appealing option for many because they’re less intrusive than other snoring treatment options, such as a CPAP system.

Why They’re Better Than CPAP Machines
An effective way to combat snoring does already exist; it’s called the CPAP machine (CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airflow Pressure). However, while they are effective at reducing snoring, there is a big mark against them: they’re uncomfortable. That’s because the machine continuously pumps air into the body, in order to keep the airway open. Less than 50% of people adapt to their CPAP machine, because of the discomfort they induce. Also, they can be a little awkward, since there are tubes and electrical outlets required for use.
The difficulties mean that many people decide not to use the machine. And consequently, just try to live with their snoring condition. Alas, that causes a whole host of problems, not least the issue of annoying their partner.
This is why the Somnomed sleeping device is so revolutionary. It effectively treats the problem of snoring, yet it’s so easy to use — there are no downsides other than having to put it in and take it out. Many patients have found that by wearing the device and making a few lifestyle modifications, they’re able to overcome their snoring problems.
