This is taken from the British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association web site ------------------------------------------------ The Tomed SomnoGuard AP is a revolutionary new mandibular advancement device designed for easier adjustment and a better fit than ever before. Unlike the original SomnoGuard, this new MAD is a 2-piece design with a screw adjuster. Made from a completely different material to other MADs, the SomnoGuard AP has hard outer trays with soft insides. This makes moulding quicker (takes no more than 10 minutes) and best of all, if you require further adjustment, all you do is adjust the screw. This device gives up to 12mm forward protrusion which is much greater advancement than other MADS that generally allow no more than 7-8mm protrusion. Because this is a 2-piece device you can mould each tray separately for better fitting and there are no limits as to how many times each tray can be moulded. Another great advantage of this device is that it allows some sideways movement making breathing easier should you encounter any problems breathing through your nose. ------------------------------------------------ See the pictures and some more text on their web site (http://www.britishsnoring.co.uk/
