What is SomnoGuard? |
| |
SomnoGuard® is a one size, U-shaped, mandibular advancement device that fixes the jaws in an altered position when one sleeps. It brings forward the lower jaw to allow more air to enter the upper passage way of the respiratory tract.
In doing so, problems of snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea are reduced or solved altogether.
SomnoGuard was developed in co-operation with the sleep-medical center of the university ENT Hospital Mannheim, Germany.
