Snoring splint

For a good night's sleep

Snoring affects more than sleep. It can disrupt your partner’s night and leave you feeling tired in the morning. In suitable cases, an anti-snoring device can be a practical option, especially when snoring is related to jaw position and the lower jaw falls back during sleep.

At happybite in Berlin-Moabit we provide custom-made devices and guide you from the first assessment to fine adjustments..

What is a snoring splint?

A dental anti-snoring device, often called a mandibular advancement device (MAD), consists of upper and lower parts. It gently holds the lower jaw slightly forward. This can help keep the airway more open and reduce vibration of soft tissues that causes snoring..

Who can benefit from a snoring splint?

An anti-snoring device may be suitable for::

primary snoring

mild to moderate sleep-related breathing issues, if medically assessed abgeklärt

patients looking for an alternative approach

stable teeth, healthy gums, and manageable jaw joint function

If you suspect sleep apnea, experience breathing pauses, strong daytime sleepiness, or have relevant medical risks, a medical evaluation is important. If you already have a diagnosis, we can coordinate the dental part based on medical findings.
