The latest innovation from Tomed. The new SomnoGuard SP Soft mandibular advancement device (MAD) is a two-part adjustable appliance with improved comfort and greater durability.

Two-part incrementally adjustable mandibular advancement device

Each of the two identical hard polycarbonate trays is filled with a soft copolymer which, when heated, takes perfect impressions of the teeth for a secure and comfortable fit. The connecting mechanism is on the cheek side of the device rather than the tongue side so the design provides unrestricted space for the tongue. From a choice of six different lengths, a pair of equal length connectors are fitted, one either side of the device, to couple the two parts together to a maximum advancement of 10mm.

Before Moulding	After Moulding

SomnoGuard SP Soft can be worn by patients with retrognathia (a receeding lower jaw / weak chin).

Specific features :

• Moulded easily at home in about 10 minutes one tray at a time.
• Can be moulded over and over again.
• Comfortable and small.
• Incremental advancement of the lower jaw up to 10mm.
• Impression material in the channels grips the teeth firmly.
• Excellent retention in the mouth during sleep.
• Suitable if you have a few missing teeth.
• Very low bite opening, i.e., the distance between the upper and lower incisors is only about 2 or 3mm.
• 2-piece design allows side-to-side movement of the jaw.
• Mouth breathing possible - useful if you have a cold.
• No metals used.
• Spare set of connectors included.
• Lightweight and durable construction.

Please note: Although this oral appliance is manufactured in two versions: SomnoGuard SP Soft and SomnoGuard SP Hard, we are only offering the SP Soft to the general public. The SP Hard version is rather difficult to mould and only a dentist or doctor should carry out the fitting following appropriate training.

The lining of the SomnoGuard SP Soft is made from a transparent copolymer - the same lining is used in the Tomed SomnoGuard AP. The impression material provides a firm grip on the teeth after moulding and is more comfortable than the SomnoGuard SP Hard.

Having had an unsuccessful uvulopalatoplasty, I was very sceptical about whether the device would work or even whether I would be able to tolerate it in my mouth. However with the prospect looming of a holiday where my wife and I would have to share the same bedroom for 3 weeks, I felt I had to try something and I was recommended by the local Hospital Sleep Consultant to try a mandibular advancement device. Previous holidays had been marred by sleepless nights for both my wife and myself, but to my surprise the device was a great success and we did not have one night disturbed by my snoring. It took only a few nights to get used to having the device in my mouth and there was only minimal discomfort. I am very pleased with the result.
