A Mandibular Advancement Device is an effective way to reduce or eliminate snoring and to treat mild to moderate Sleep Apnoea. Thermoplastic devices such as Oniris are an excellent, cost effective and clinically proven way to try and experience the benefits of mandibular advancement before choosing a custom-made device.
Thermoplastic devices allow you to take a custom impression of your teeth and mouth at home. Once complete the device should be worn for short periods so you can get comfortable with it, before slowly increasing the amount of time you wear it. Users continue to do this until they can wear the device continually through the night.
A mandibular device is also a great option if you travel frequently and do not wish to take your CPAP machine, or if you will be away from mains power overnight.
It is important to note that CPAP therapy is still the best form of treatment for people with severe cases of Sleep Apnoea.
