What is Somnolis?
Somnolis is a thin dental gutter or mandibular advancement orthosis ( OAM ) easy to use. Somnolis settles quickly in the mouth and is comfortable to use. Somnolis is ideal for an inexpensive first approach to treatment for snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea . Easy to maintain, the clinical effectiveness of mandibular advancement orthotics has been proven for a long time.
Somnolis therapeutic principle
Somnolis will advance your lower jaw a few millimeters to clear the back of the tongue and free the passage of inspired air. As a result, the back tongue no longer vibrates which eliminates snoring and ensures you a restful sleep as well as your partner rid of the noise nuisance linked to snoring.
Somnolis allows advancement of the lower jaw in 4 positions: 3mm / 6mm / 8mm and 10.5mm

A. Mandibular advancement orthosis (OAM)
What is a Mandibular Advanced Orthosis (OAM)?
An anti snoring orthosis is a dental splint worn overnight to avoid snoring. Anti snoring mandibular advancement orthotics are made from specific medical materials to prevent side effects. A mandibular advancement orthosis is an ideal and easy-to-use anti-snoring solution.
How does a mandibular advancement orthosis work?
A mandibular advancement orthosis slightly advances the lower jaw so as to clear the airways. Snoring is thus treated and sleep apnea reduced, even eliminated.
Indication of treatment :
- Jaw backwards (retroprognathy of the chin)
- Continuous and noisy snoring.
- Snoring in all positions
- Light to moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndromes
- Intolerance to continuous positive pressure treatment (CPAP / PPC)
Rmed solutions: SOMNOFIT - SOMNOFIT S - SOMNOLIS
B. Nasal spreaders or dilators.
Widening the nostrils using a retractor or nasal dilator clip . It is indicated for light and moderate snorers. The air flows more freely through your nose and avoids opening your mouth at night.
Indication of treatment:
- Chronic nasal congestion
- Narrow nasal septum

Indication of treatment:
- Snorers sleeping on their backs
Rmed solutions: POSIFORM - SOMNOFIT-BELT - SOMNIBEL - RONFLESS
D. Anti-snoring sprays
Scientific studies have shown the low effectiveness of sprays against snoring. Their duration of action is very limited in time (maximum 1 hour). Not effective in the treatment of snoring.
