Treatment for snoring
Snoring can disturb the sleep of snorers and those around them. It can also be a warning sign for obstructive sleep apnoea, a disease that causes people to stop breathing during the night. Receiving help for these disorders is essential. But don’t worry, both snoring and sleep apnoea can be treated!
A Resmed custom-made appliance
Your Narval appliance is specially made for you using dental impressions and advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology.
As a result, it’s a perfect fit for your mouth and comfortable to wear. You can talk, drink and open your mouth naturally when you’re wearing it. As well as helping you (and your partner) get a good night’s sleep, Narval significantly reduces OSA symptoms and improves quality of life. It’s also perfect for travel.
How do I get a Narval appliance?
Once your physician has helped you choose MRD therapy over PAP, a specialist dentist will be able to confirm if you are indeed a suitable candidate for Narval CC. Ask your sleep physician for a referral, or find a sleep dentist.
