Sleep apnea therapy

An individually made protrusion splint as an alternative to CPAP therapy for mild to moderate sleep apnea.

In sleep apnea, the flow of air repeatedly stops during sleep for at least 10 seconds. For mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, the mandibular protrusion splint is an effective alternative to CPAP therapy.

The splint moves the lower jaw slightly forward so that the throat stays open. It is worn only at night, is silent and needs no tubes or cables. We primarily work with biblock splints from Somnomed, made individually in our dental laboratory.

A specialist in sleep-related breathing disorders determines whether splint therapy is suitable; the sleep physician assesses its success. The sleep apnea splint is fully covered by health insurance.

• Heavy snoring
• Breathing interruptions
• Rattling and wheezing in sleep
• Fatigue during the day
• Disturbances of memory

Anti-snoring therapy

An individually fitted snoring splint keeps the airways open during sleep and can reduce or even eliminate snoring.

A snoring splint, also known as a protrusion splint, is suitable for tongue-base snoring – for normal snoring as well as for mild to moderate sleep apnea. It moves the lower jaw slightly forward and so keeps the airways open.

The treatment is painless and non-invasive. We fit the splint precisely to your teeth using high-precision impressions; existing dental prostheses are taken into account in the dental laboratory. We use splints from Somnomed, which are also suitable for removable dentures.

If snoring is accompanied by breathing interruptions at night, an evaluation for sleep apnea is absolutely necessary.

ProSomnus Evo

A small, discreet device against snoring and sleep apnea that holds your lower jaw in a forward position.

The ProSomnus Evo consists of two custom-made splints that hold your lower jaw in a forward position. Thanks to precise manufacturing, it is virtually invisible and fits comfortably; you can still drink, speak and close your mouth.

The material meets the MG6 standard (Medical Grade 6) and is BPA-free. The device is reimbursed by health insurance. Since no parts or filters are required, the long-term costs are lower than those of CPAP.
