Sleepwell™

Clinical Testimonials

Bridget Simpson - GDP, said "I took impressions for my first Sleepwell appliance on my first day back at work. My guinea pig was a team member. The assessments were straightforward, the very retentive nature of the appliance took me up a bit of a learning curve, but was not “difficult” and, significantly, it worked."

"Enter Mr Wood. Mr Wood, my principal’s patient who had destroyed all previous appliances with his nocturnal bruxism, who had a Class II malocclusion with his lower incisors closing somewhere back near his upper premolars and was edentulous distal to his lower left canine, for whom snoring had been such a problem since his late teens that he had undergone painful surgery (removal of his uvula and part of the soft palate) which had stopped the problem for exactly 4 nights! Mr Wood, an intelligent, articulate patient who knew he was my first and who didn’t spare me with his questions (thank you, Mr Johal, I was well briefed). My main concern was that the bite and the short lower arch would mean that it was not possible to construct a satisfactory appliance. However, Matt, Solutions4Snoring’s senior technician, held my hand over the phone, and was consistently encouraging and helpful. Our first attempt was an excellent fit, but Mr Wood couldn’t procline sufficiently to engage the appliance. On the second attempt we were about 1mm off, but I was afraid to push the patient further forward. Third attempt – bingo and the reassurance from Matt that this had been an exceptionally difficult case. And for Mr Wood – after decades of snoring, he has a new life. A new life that started on the first night that he used his Sleepwell device. A social life that is uninhibited by snoring, a better quality of sleep and, imagine, the difference to his wife and family. "

"Finally, it has to be said that the Sleepwell appliance is unquestionably a profitable treatment to provide in general practice, as well as, potentially, a great practice builder. However, the satisfaction in making such a difference in someone’s life is incomparable. I now understand, so well, the enthusiasm of Ama Johal and the team and, unusually for me, I have a new technique and I can’t wait for the next one. Attend a Solutions4Snoring seminar and I’m sure you’ll feel the same."
