If snoring is wearing you both down

The worries we hear before people ask about a custom device.

"My snoring is affecting my partner"

Snoring disrupts two people's sleep, not one. A well-made device can quieten it enough to give you both a proper night.

"The gadget I bought did not work"

Boil-and-bite and online gadgets often fit poorly, fall out or hurt. A device made to your teeth and set by a dentist behaves very differently.

"Could it be sleep apnoea?"

A device helps snoring and mild sleep apnoea, but it is not a cure for moderate or severe apnoea. If you suspect apnoea, see a clinician first.

How you get one

01

Your dentist prescribes it

A mandibular advancement splint has to be prescribed by a dentist, who checks it is suitable for you.

02

The jaw registration is taken

Someone records exactly how far your lower jaw should sit forward, because that registration is what makes the device work safely. Your dentist can take it, or once they have referred you, John can take it here at the lab, which saves you a trip.

03

We make it in the lab

We fabricate the splint to that prescription in durable dental materials, and it is fitted and checked by your dentist.

Questions about this service

No jargon, no pressure. If your question is not here, call the lab and a technician will talk it through.

Do anti-snoring devices actually work?
A well-fitting mandibular advancement splint reduces snoring for many people by opening the airway. Fit matters enormously, which is why a custom device made to your teeth tends to work far better than a gadget you soften at home.
What is the difference between a custom device and a cheap online one?
A boil-and-bite or online gadget is softened over your bite by guesswork, is often bulky, and is not made from a durable material. A custom lab-made splint is made to a model of your teeth, set to a measured jaw position, in durable materials that last. It is more comfortable, so you actually wear it.
Do I need to see a dentist, or can I buy one direct?
You need a dentist to prescribe it. A mandibular advancement splint has to be prescribed by a dentist, and they fit it. The registration itself can be taken by your dentist, or once they have referred you John can take it here at the lab, so much of the work can happen under one roof. If you have a dentist, ask them. If you are not sure of the right next step, talk to us.
Will it help my sleep apnoea, or only snoring?
It reduces snoring and can help mild obstructive sleep apnoea. It is not a treatment for moderate or severe sleep apnoea. If you think you may have sleep apnoea, you should be assessed by a clinician before relying on a device.
Which anti-snoring device is best?
The best device is one that fits you and is set to the right jaw position, which is exactly why a custom, dentist-prescribed splint outperforms a one-size gadget. The specific design is chosen with your dentist to suit your case.
How much does a custom device cost, and how do I start?
Cost depends on the design and is confirmed before any work begins. The first step is a conversation with a dentist, or with us, about whether a splint is right for you and how to get the records taken.
Custom vs gadget
