Treating snoring and sleep apnea in Zurich – with dental sleep medicine

Mandibular advancement splints / anti-snoring splint / apnea splint

Mandibular advancement splints are used to treat snoring and breathing pauses (sleep apnea).

This is done exactly as required by the professional guidelines of the Swiss Society for Sleep Research, Sleep Medicine and Chronobiology (SSSSC) and the German Society of Dental Sleep Medicine (DGSM). In this way, snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea are treated.

Patients with severe sleep apnea should in every case first be treated with mask ventilation. If you cannot tolerate it, our mandibular advancement splints are a treatment alternative which, although weaker than CPAP, is better than remaining untreated.

When you come to the Swiss Dental Center for a consultation/examination, we ask you to bring any sleep-medicine findings with you – if you already have them. A polygraphy (overnight measurement at home) or a polysomnography (measurement in a sleep laboratory) without any treatment device, i.e. your “baseline measurement”, is important for knowing exactly what problem you have.

At the first appointment we check whether, from a dental point of view, you are suitable for a mandibular advancement splint.
