Braden Dental Care has recently added a new service!
The provision of the Somnowell anti snoring devices to our patients is an exciting development for the snorers of Belfast.
What is snoring?
Snoring is caused by the vibration of soft tissues in your throat due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping .
Studies indicate that at least 35% of adults snore.
Snoring can cause sleep disturbance and the resulting stress, and drowsiness, leading to lack of energy, poor concentration, mood swings, irritability and even decreased libido.
Snoring can not only affect the quality of sleep of the person snoring but also their partner.
Over a longer period of time, snoring can also lead to high blood pressure and heart problems.
Multiple clinical studies have shown a connection between loud snoring and an increased risk of both stroke and heart attack.
Somnowell for Snoring
The good news is that help is at hand at Braden Dental Care and the overwhelming majority of people suffering from problematic snoring can be effectively treated using a Somnowell device .
We are currently the only certified Somnowell practitioner in the Belfast area.
The Somnowell is designed to gently hold the lower jaw and tongue in the ‘recovery position’ while you sleep, keeping the airway open.
The Somnowell device is very comfortable and a lot less bulky than plastic antisnoring devices.
The Somnowell is made from Chrome Cobalt alloy, and designed to last indefinitely. It won’t suffer from wear and tear, and is resistant to the bacteria commonly found in acrylic and plastic devices. After many years, the Somnowell will look and feel exactly the same. The only requirement is that you maintain the health of your teeth and mouth and take good care of your Somnowell device.
Somnowell is recommended by :
The British snoring and sleep apnoea association.
