What is Snoring?

Snoring is caused by the vibration of soft tissues in the throat and behind the tongue. Studies indicate that at least 30% of adults snore. Snoring can be a major factor in sleep disturbance and the resulting stress, leading to lack of energy, poor concentration, mood swings, and irritability.

In the long term, snoring can also lead to high blood pressure and heart problems.

Somnowell for Snoring

The good news is tnat the overwhelming majority of people suffering from problematic snoring can be effectively treated using a Somnowell The appliance is such an effective teatrnent for snoring because it tackies the problem at its root cause. The Somnowell is designed to gently hold the lower jaw and tongue in the 'recovery position' while you sleep, keeping the airway open.

What is Sleep Apnoea?

With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) an increase in weight or a reduction in muscle tone can trigger the change from a partially blocked airway (snoring) to a completely blocked airway. It is common for tne sufferer to be comoletely unaware of the disorder, and remain undiagnosed for several years. OSA has been linked to an increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease.
