Sleep Apnoea
Do you experience the following?
- Loud, disruptive snoring
- Choking, breathlessness during sleep
- Constant feel tires
- Insomnia
- Headaches when you wake up
If you suffer from any of these symptoms you may have sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea involves stopping breathing or a lowering of oxygen in the blood during sleep. Sleep Apnoea is a frightening condition that many are unaware of. Thankfully Dental on Kennedy has a solution.
Introducing the Sleep Apnoea Oral Appliance
The sleep Apnoea Oral Appliance is a form of dental treatment for the condition. While you sleep the muscles around your airway relax blocking the flow of air and cutting off oxygen. The appliance works by forcing your jaw forward and preventing the muscles relaxing and shutting off the airway. The appliance is small and easy efficient making it the ultimate solution.

SomnoDent Avant®
SomnoDent Avant is Somnomed’s most comfortable appliance ever. The upper and lower splints are designed with the latest Computer Aided Design software and are milled using a single piece of pre-cured dental acrylic. The precuring process improves the flexural strength of the material by 18%.
There is a soft b-flex Comfort Liner® to cradle and support the teeth to minimize tooth movement. The b-flex liner feels more comfortable to wear and is more retentive. If it’s more comfortable, your patient is more likely to wear it, and be better treated for their sleep apnea.
And the innovative design of the SomnoDent Avant gently closes your patient’s mouth, so they breathe through their nose while asleep. This eliminates snoring in most people, as well as preventing dry mouth, which is a common complaint with other oral appliances (and CPAP).
