The standard for comfort and effectiveness
SomnoMed® is the global leader in design and manufacture of oral appliances for sleep apnoea.
Since commencing manufacture of oral appliances in 2004, SomnoMed® has continuously improved the SomnoDent® range, focusing on enhancing comfort and improving the treatment of sleep apnoea.
The improved comfort of the SomnoDent® appliances comes from the proprietary b-flex Comfort Liner.
The b-flex Comfort Liner cradles and supports each tooth, reducing pressure on the teeth that can cause discomfort and move teeth. View the b-flex animation video on the right to see how it works.
Our latest innovations are incorporated into the SomnoDent Avant, which encourages your patient to breathe through the nose instead of the mouth for a more comfortable night’s sleep.

Liz’s story
“Having suffered jaw and tooth pain over several months and following several appointments with my GP and regular dentist to no avail, I asked April (dentist) if she could give me a second opinion. After careful consultation April suggested that sleep apnoea and teeth grinding might be behind the issues and recommended a Somnomed® device to wear at night. Read more
Simon’s story
“My name is Simon Wilsdon I am a general dentist in York with a special interest in dental sleep medicine. Over several years I have experienced mild sleep apnoea and, unfortunately for my wife, loud snoring. I have tried several different mandibular advancement devices over the years. These have given initial improvement but nothing long lasting and were uncomfortable over time. After investigating different options, I decided to give the new SomnoMed® Avant™ appliance a try.

Mohammed’s story
Mohammed was diagnosed with Severe Sleep Apnoea in 2018.
“For the first year after my diagnosis, I had a CPAP machine in the home, but I really struggled with it, due to the anxiety of the mask being on my face all night. When I saw my Sleep Consultant, I was advised that I should not drive, and my driving license has now been revoked for more than 2 years. I have a family at home, with four children, so having no driving license has really affected our day-to-day lives. Little things like food shopping and trips out are much more difficult. Read more

However further investigation was necessary and an overnight hospital stay was arranged where l had a sleep study conducted. Read more
