Somnofit Mandibular Advancement Device from Oscimed SA

Somnofit Mandibular Device

A CPAP machine alternative and snoring treatment

The Somnofit Mandibular Device is a proven anti-snoring mandibular device that offers an alternative to CPAP therapy for mild OSA sufferers.

The clinically-proven device works by moving the lower jaw forward and keeping it there while you sleep. By doing so, it opens up the throat to allow for greater airflow and reduces the chances of obstructions that lead to snoring and apnoeas.

The Somnofit itself consists of two oral mouldings; one for the upper jaw and one for the lower. They are heated in water to soften the moulding material (thermoforming) and then bitten in to create an exact fitting for your teeth.

Straps in varying lengths come supplied with the kit so you can gently titrate the lower jaw forward to find the best and most comfortable length of advancement. By gently increasing this forward repositioning over a number of days or weeks, you can ease your jaw’s muscles into this new position.
