What to expect when being treated with NarvalTM CC ?

This small, custom-made device is designed to support your treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea1–3.

The article walks you through what to expect from your treatment, including early benefits and mild side effects during the adaptation phase.

What if change started today?

If you are using a Narval CC device to treat your obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) or snoring, you are taking an important step toward better sleep and improved well-being. This custom-made device may be small, but it can play a meaningful role in your treatment1.

What to expect from your treatment?

The goal of treating OSA is simple: to restore restful and uninterrupted sleep by preventing your airways from collapsing during the night4. Oral appliances like Narval CC help by advancing your lower jaw to keep the airway open2.

With consistent use, you may notice improvements such as2:

  • Reduced snoring
  • Improved daytime alertness
  • Better sleep quality

To help build the habit, try placing your Narval CC on your nightstand, right where you’ll see it every night.

What about side effects?

Like any treatment, Narval CC can come with some side effects, especially during the adaptation phase. Most are mild and temporary, such as1:

  • Jaw or muscle discomfort
  • Dry mouth or extra saliva
  • Temporary bite changes
  • Tooth movement or dental changes may also happen over time

These effects are typically manageable, and most patients adjust within a few weeks1.

Follow-up visits with your dental practitioner are key to identifying and addressing any issues early on5,6.

Follow-up visits with your dentist are essential to identify and address any issues as soon as they arise5,6.

Be sure to see your dentist regularly.
