Snoring Guard for Restful Sleep: The individual solution for you and your partner.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
\n\t\t\t\t

Snoring is more than just a noise issue. It can lead to daytime fatigue, concentration problems, and in severe cases, to health-threatening breathing interruptions (sleep apnea).<\/p>

An individually custom-made snoring guard is a clinically effective and comfortable method to reduce nocturnal snoring. This small, discreet guard holds the lower jaw and tongue in a slightly forward position, thereby preventing the airways from being blocked during sleep.<\/p>

Unlike standardized solutions (from the internet or pharmacy), only individually custom-made guards offer the necessary precision. Since every bite and every jaw is unique, generic models can damage the jaw joints and are often therapeutically ineffective.<\/p>

We use state-of-the-art digital measurement procedures to produce your guard precisely and comfortably. Invest in your health and in quiet sleep.<\/p>

Our practice is located only about 20 minutes from Zurich Airport and 1 minute from Jestetten SBB train station (S9, S65).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>

Your Path to an Individual Snoring Guard in Just 4 Steps<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
\n\t\t\t\t

The fabrication of your custom-fit snoring guard is an individual, digitally guided process tailored to your mouth. You will be cared for by our specialist in orthodontics, Dr. Nicole Horvath<\/a>. She is a member of the German Society of Dental Sleep Medicine and is therefore an expert in your snoring problem.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>

The guard is individually and thinly fabricated to maximize wearing comfort. A short adjustment period is normal, but most patients quickly find the guard unproblematic and sleep well with it. We adjust your guard in small increments and provide specific acclimatization tips. \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The dentist is responsible for the fabrication of the guard and the monitoring of the dental function (bite position, temporomandibular joints). If sleep apnea (breathing interruptions) is suspected, the guard is only one therapy option, which must always be carried out in consultation with a sleep physician. We take care of the interdisciplinary exchange with your specialist. \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A custom-made snoring splint starts from approx. \u20ac1,500 \u2014 digitally planned and precisely fitted to your jaw. If sleep apnea has been diagnosed, costs may be covered by health insurance.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No. Since every mouth and every bite is different, generic guards are useless in the vast majority of cases. Only a precise dental adjustment ensures the optimal protrusion position of the lower jaw, which is crucial for the effect and the protection of the jaw joints. We strongly advise against standard sets.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
