Case study: Sleep apnoea leading to snoring and poor quality sleep

Richard was treated by Dr Claire Nightingale at the Queens Gate Orthodontics in London. He suffered from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). He didn’t like using the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Machine (CPAP) and was referred by a respiratory physician to see if a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) would work.

He was absolutely delighted with the results and shared these screenshots of his Snore Lab readings before and after using the Somnowell. The data shows a significant reduction in his snoring levels—dropping from an "epic" score of 110 before using Somnowell to a much quieter/light level of 3 after using it.

After

Listen to his experience here:

Richard was experiencing moderate sleep apnoea, waking up nearly 30 times each night. His loud snoring disrupted both his own rest and his wife’s, leaving him constantly fatigued and irritable. It wasn’t until later that he truly recognised how much his poor sleep had been affecting his daily life.

After being fitted with a Somnowell device, Richard noticed a remarkable improvement in his sleep quality. He and his wife can now enjoy uninterrupted nights, and he wakes up feeling refreshed and full of energy. He values how discreet and comfortable the device is, appreciating that it’s barely noticeable when worn.
