Snoring
Therapy

A better quality of life through restful sleep

Snoring is not only a strain on your partner – it can also pose a serious health risk for the snorer. Common causes include narrowed airways, an unfa­vourable slee­ping posi­tion or excess weight. In some cases, breathing repea­tedly stops during sleep – a condi­tion known as sleep apnoea – inter­rupting the oxygen supply and incre­asing the long-term risk of cardio­vas­cular disease. Besides disturbed sleep, the result is often daytime fatigue and reduced perfor­mance.

A proven treat­ment for snoring and sleep apnoea is the mandi­bular advance­ment splint, also known as a snoring splint. At our prac­tice in Bogenhausen, we fit it indi­vi­du­ally based on impres­sions of your upper and lower jaw. Before­hand, we carry out a compre­hen­sive diagnosis and exami­na­tion of your teeth and jaw joints, working closely with specia­list ENT doctors.

The snoring splint consists of two plastic compon­ents that gently move the lower jaw forward while you sleep. Special connec­ting elements allow the splint to be adjusted precisely to improve airflow. This keeps the airways open and reduces snoring – so that restful, resto­ra­tive sleep can return.
