Limited results - now on CPAP

My sleep apnea score went from 42 to 4

reduced snoring and better sleep patterns

The MAS was easy to get used to. I felt that the quality of my sleep quality had improved but after 5 months' use, a sleep test showed that the improvement was not as great as I had perceived. The number of respiratory disturbances had declined by 50% from the previous test but there had been only minimal improvement in my oxygen desaturation level. Back to the drawing board!

The splint for grinding is not comfortable at all. Two wide from the sides hurting my gum.

Great product (Somnodent Advant) which helps my breathing /snoring so simply and conveniently. Great service through ordering, supply process, plus amazing follow up service from Shelley Donovan in the Sydney office when I needed a spare band for the device. Highly recommended.

Takes a while to get used to but then is great. Much better experience than cpap. Excellent if you travel a lot.

Quality product that actually works. Game changer.

This company makes a comfortable effective device that cures my mild sleep apnea! It’s also a fraction of the cost of my mouthpiece that I had fitted in Canada! 🇨🇦

Back in 2009 I had the original Somnodent "Classic" device. It was a bit uncomfortable but it was effective and virtually eliminated my snoring and my partner was happy. Fast-forward to 2024, I had discarded it over the years but now I wanted to get a replacement. My dentist gave me the option of the Classic or the newer Avant. They recommended the Avant as it was more configurable and more comfortable so I went with that. The splint comes with 10 straps that give you increasing levels of protrusion of the lower jaws. I was advised to start at 0 and then each week increase by 1 if I'm still snoring. This was all a faff which basically at the end of 2 months is when you've tried all the straps and realise none is effective. What a waste of time. What was effective was when my dentist installed a pair of dental rubber bands to restrict my mouth from opening. I've had some success with that but occasionally do still snore loudly. The other problem with the Avant is it causes me to drool HEAPS when I sleep. I'm a side sleeper and I guess the device is holding a bit of my mouth open. This is super annoying. This did not happen at all with the Classic. I also find the Avant to be very uncomfortable. It fits just slightly over the tips of the teeth. This means the side pulling force is concentrated at the tip of the teeth so you can really feel it. Had it covered more of the teeth then the force would be distributed a bit better. If I had the choice again, I'd go with the Classic. At least it worked and it's a whole lot less hassle.
