Essential guide to selecting a safe and effective anti-snoring mouthpiece.
How to Choose the Right Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece
Sleep apnea affects about 25% of the population and poses serious health risks. CPAP machines are commonly prescribed but are bulky and impractical. Since 2022, Swiss basic insurance covers anti-snoring mouthpieces upon request.
Key Selection Criteria:
- Custom-made by a dentist.
- High-quality materials.
- Adjustable protrusion.
- Keeps the mouth closed during sleep.
- Made in Switzerland.
- Warranty.
Why Custom-Made?
The device advances the jaw to open airways. A custom fit ensures comfort and effectiveness.
Importance of Materials
PETG and acetal resins are more stable and durable than PMMA and thermoformed plastics.
Adjustable Protrusion
An adjustable mouthpiece allows for future modifications to improve treatment.
Keeping the Mouth Closed
A good device prevents the mouth from opening unintentionally but allows voluntary movements for drinking.
Swiss Manufacturing
Swiss quality ensures precision and fast service for repairs or replacements.
Warranty
Some providers offer up to 3 years of warranty, matching the insurance reimbursement period.
