Description

Maintain the performance and adjustability of your Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 mandibular advancement device with this official replacement screw set. The kit includes two stainless steel screws, a lock nut, and a small spanner tool – everything you need to continue adjusting your device with millimetre accuracy.

The Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 is a two-piece mandibular advancement device that helps reduce snoring and manage mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). It uses a small screw mechanism to gently move the lower jaw forward, helping to keep your airway open and improve breathing during sleep.

Simply unscrew the old adjustment screw, replace it with the new one using the included locknut, and tighten with the provided spanner. Make sure the screw head sits flush in the guide groove for accurate and stable adjustment.

These components are specifically designed for use with the Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 and are incompatible with other oral appliances.

How does the Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 work?

Snoring and mild to moderate OSA often occur when the airway narrows or becomes blocked during sleep. This can be caused by relaxed muscles in the throat, allowing the tongue and surrounding soft tissues to fall back and restrict airflow.

The Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 is designed to gently reposition the lower jaw and tongue slightly forward during sleep. This forward shift is adjusted with millimetre precision using a small stainless steel screw located between the upper and lower jaw trays.

By helping to open the upper airway and stabilise soft tissues like the soft palate and uvula, the Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 can reduce the tissue vibrations that cause snoring and support more consistent nighttime breathing in people with mild to moderate OSA.

How is the Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 fitted?

Please note: Due to hygiene reasons, fitted or used devices cannot be returned, so refunds aren’t possible if fitted incorrectly.

For best results, we strongly recommend having the device fitted by a healthcare professional (such as a dentist, ENT specialist, or sleep physician).

However, we understand some users may choose to fit the device themselves. If you do, please carefully follow the detailed instructions included with your product.

The Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 uses the boil-and-bite method. Each jaw tray consists of a stable outer shell and a thermoplastic inner layer that softens in hot water and moulds to your bite when cooled.

The fitting process takes about 20 minutes and involves the following steps:

  1. Heat the upper and lower jaw trays in boiling water for approximately 3½ minutes.
  2. Carefully bite into the softened trays so the material adapts to your individual tooth shape.
  3. Cool both trays in cold water so the material hardens and retains your dental impressions. The fitting process can be repeated if needed (e.g., if the trays do not fit optimally).
  4. Adjust the advancement of the lower jaw by turning the small stainless steel screw.

The upper and lower jaw trays of the Tomed SomnoGuard® AP 2 are connected by a small stainless steel screw. A guide groove on the underside of the upper tray holds the screw head in place and allows smooth, controlled movement. By turning the screw, you can continuously adjust the lower jaw advancement from 0 to approximately 10mm.

Millimetre markings on the sides of the device help you track the advancement precisely. Increasing the advancement moves the lower jaw further forward, which can help open the upper airway more effectively, potentially reducing snoring and breathing interruptions caused by obstructive sleep apnoea.

Additional FAQs

What is a mandibular advancement device?

A mandibular advancement device is a type of mouthpiece worn while you sleep. It works by gently moving your lower jaw forward, helping to keep your airway open. This can reduce snoring and is often recommended to support symptoms of mild to moderate OSA.

You may have also heard mandibular advancement devices (often abbreviated to MADs) called a mandibular advancement splint, mandibular repositioning device, or even a mandibular device for snoring – but these are all just different names for the same type of oral device.

Do mandibular advancement devices really work?

Many people find that a mandibular advancement device helps to reduce snoring, though results can differ from person to person. Clinical studies indicate they can be effective. They’re also recognised within the NHS as a treatment option for snoring and for some cases of mild to moderate OSA.

Are mandibular advancement devices comfortable?

Like any oral appliance, a mandibular advancement device can take a little time to get used to. Adjustable or custom-fit designs usually provide the best comfort for long-term use.
