Tired of snoring?
What is the Sleepwell Appliance?
The Sleepwell appliance is a custom-made mandibular advancement splint designed to treat snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). It works by gently holding your lower jaw (mandible) in a slightly forward position during sleep. This prevents the airway from collapsing and significantly reduces or eliminates snoring.
Why consider the Sleepwell Appliance?
Snoring affects over 15 million people in the UK and can disrupt not only your sleep, but your partner's too. Studies show that up to 40% of adult men and 24% of adult women snore regularly. Persistent snoring can also be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea, a serious sleep disorder that can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and daytime fatigue.
The Sleepwell Appliance can help reduce snoring intensity and improve sleep quality. It’s a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment option that offers a comfortable alternative to surgery or CPAP machines.
Will the Sleepwell Appliance stop my snoring completely?
In many cases, yes. The appliance significantly reduces snoring for most users. However, results can vary depending on the severity of your snoring and your overall oral health.
Is it suitable for sleep apnoea?
The Sleepwell Appliance can help with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. If you have more severe symptoms, your dentist may refer you for a sleep study or to a specialist.
Is it comfortable to wear at night?
Yes. The device is custom-fitted to your teeth and is designed to be as comfortable and unobtrusive as possible.
How long does it take to get used to the appliance?
Most patients adjust within a few nights. Minor adjustments can be made to ensure a better fit if needed.
How long does the appliance last?
With proper care, the appliance typically lasts between 3–5 years.
