Dear Gavin,
I have been using the mouth guard for 4 weeks and, after the initial reaction of something rather ‘alien’ being in your mouth, now find it ok.
My wife has noted a real improvement with my Sleep Apnoea and also with snoring, stating that I now snore for 15 minutes once asleep which then abates to allow her a far better night’s sleep than before using the Sleepwell.
I have adjusted the appliance by approx 1/3 and although there is an initial sense of fear of not being able to open your mouth when wearing it, you simply need to extend your lower jaw to allow the 2 halves of the appliance to separate. Once this has been repeated several times, the sense of fear subsides.
I wouldn’t begin to suggest it is the most comfortable thing to wear to bed but, knowing that my wife is finally able to get a full night’s sleep for the first time in approx 25 years, it’s a small sacrifice to make.

The thought of sleeping with equipment in your mouth may sound daunting, but here at Dental Solutions, we ensure your mouth splint is made bespoke to you. That means that you should experience no pain.
The pressure placed on the lower jaw is gently, but it’s not uncommon to find your new mouth splint a little uncomfortable at first. If you’re struggling with discomfort, get in touch with your dentist who’d be more than happy to help.
Whether your issue is snoring, sleep apnoea or EDS, opting for a mouth splint may help to relieve the symptoms during rest. However, in many cases, there are other things that contribute to sleep disorders, and you may be able to seek help to tackle those issues whilst using your mouth splint.
For example, many find that their lifestyle impacts their quality of sleep, and often making small changes can have a dramatic impact. In these cases, you may be able to stop using your mouth splint eventually as the issue resolves itself.
The good thing is that you can use it, or not use it, as and when you choose.
To ensure your oral health remains as good as possible, it’s important that you clean your mouth splint daily. Washing it every morning after you wake up will ensure any residue from the night is cleaned away, but you should also give it a deep clean using denture cleaner once or twice a week. When deep cleaning, you should be soaking your mouth splint for around 30 minutes to ensure it’s thoroughly cleansed.
