The new Somnowell oral appliance is similar to existing oral appliances for bruxism, but in other ways it is very different. None of the oral appliances are successful in curing bruxism. Instead they act as a barrier between the teeth and stop the teeth making contact and damaging each other. Unlike every other bruxism devices that are made from varied forms of plastic, the new Somnowell is made from cast chrome cobalt alloy.
Plastic devices for bruxism vary in price from under 100 pounds to several hundred pounds. The less expensive ones can be purchased over-the-counter and on the web. The more expensive devices can be bought from a dentist who may well make a device that is intended to fit your teeth. The less expensive ones are one-size-fits-all devices. The Somnowell appliance however is considerably costlier, prices range from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds.
The Somnowell appliance for bruxism can only be purchased from a dentist. The Somnowell dental practitioner will take impressions of the lower and upper teeth, a record of the lower jaw in a forward position, and a record of the way that the lower jaw opens. These records will be sent to the Somnowell labs where Dr Simon Ash, Specialist Orthodontist and Somowell inventor, will personally oversee the checking of the bruxist‘s records, plus the design and construction of the individual Somnowell device.
Every Somnowell is tailor made for the user so it will fit and function perfectly in the user‘s mouth. This level of accuracy makes sure the Somnowell is small, discreet, and very comfortable.
Perhaps the most important difference is the use of cast chrome cobalt alloy. This is already a well established material used for the very best quality partial dentures. It is far stronger and tougher than any plastic device. Chrome cobalt alloy does not deform or degrade in the mouth, unlike plastic appliances that quickly degrade in the bruxist's mouth and need continual replacement. Chrome cobalt alloy is also highly resistant to oral fungi and bacteria, unlike plastic devices that require intensive cleaning and rapidly become unpleasant and stinky.
The Somnowell is a tailor made long-term solution that is the strongest, small, discreet, hygienic and comfortable option.
