What is the ApneaRx device?

ApneaRx is an oral device worn in the mouth which is designed to treat mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring. It’s a Clinically Certified, Class 1 Medical Device, developed and manufactured in Australia.

ApneaRx’s fully adjustable, patented design gently holds the lower jaw in an advanced position to help prevent your tongue from collapsing into your throat. This helps to open the airways and enable better airflow during breathing while you are asleep, snoring is dramatically improved and, in the majority of cases, can be completely resolved.

It’s reusable, budget-friendly and has delivered successful results for tens of thousands of users looking for a solution to their sleep issues.

Is ApneaRx easy to mould and fit?

Yes! ApneaRx is designed to be easily custom moulded in the comfort of your own home which allows you to start enjoying the immediate benefits of a peaceful and healthier night’s sleep.

Moulding ApneaRx is quick and easy. Place the device in boiling water for 30 seconds. After dipping it in cool water for a couple of seconds to remove any residual hot water, ApneaRx is placed in your mouth and self-moulded for 30 seconds. This process can be repeated 2-3 times if necessary.

Your ApneaRx comes with an easy to follow, step by step instruction booklet. We recommend also watching our fitting tutorial video that can be found on our websites fitting information page.

How long does it take to achieve comfortable & successful use of the ApneaRx?

Customer feedback has shown that the majority of users benefit immediately after using their ApneaRx all night.

However, as everyone is uniquely different there is a small percentage of customers that may need to ease into wearing their ApneaRx, some users may take between 1-3 weeks to adjust, rest assured that this is all perfectly normal. Please remain patient and follow the process. We recommend using for 2-3 hours for the first 3 nights and then progress to using all night.

If you consider the amount of time you have been suffering from snoring and lack of quality sleep, we are sure you would agree that, a few days to a few weeks is a short amount of time to achieve a healthier and peaceful night’s sleep.

Can I sleep in any position while wearing ApneaRx?

Yes! You can sleep in any position while wearing ApneaRx. Weather you sleep on your back, side, stomach, or all of the above, ApneaRx has been designed to sit securely and comfortably in place while delivering successful results.

Is ApneaRx unisex and one size fits all?

Yes! ApneaRx is unisex and designed to be one size fits all. The clear copolymer is very pliable once warmed during the moulding process which is designed to mould and fit to ones teeth and mouth.

Can I use the ApneaRx if I grind my teeth?

Yes! ApneaRx can be used by individuals who grind their teeth (bruxism). ApneaRx has ample cushioning material so that your teeth do not contact each other. ApneaRx not only works as a snoring solution but can also replace night guards only used for teeth grinding.

Can I use ApneaRx with Dentures?

For people with partial dentures, if there are enough teeth in the front to hold the device securely in place, then ApneaRx may be an option for you. However, ApneaRx is not recommended for individuals with full dentures.

Because ApneaRx holds your jaw in a slightly forward position, having dentures may not keep ApneaRx in a secure position throughout the night. By taking out the dentures at night, there may not be enough hold between ApneaRx and the gums to keep the device secure throughout the night.

NB: ApneaRx may be suitable for patients wearing partial dentures.

Can I breathe through my mouth while wearing ApneaRx?

Yes! ApneaRx lets you breathe completely naturally, through your mouth and nose. We recommend you do not buy any device that restricts breathing through your mouth or nose.

When I use ApneaRx at night, saliva builds up in my mouth. What should I do?

The saliva build up is natural so there is no need to worry; ApneaRx is designed so that you may swallow the saliva to prevent it from causing any discomfort.

Does ApneaRx cause TMJ / TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorders) and Pain after use?

Unlike other products that lock your jaw into a setting, ApneaRx’s design provides micro- calibration. If your jaw feels uncomfortable, just reduce the settings to bring back the advancement of ApneaRx until more comfortable.

How do I clean my ApneaRx?

ApneaRx can be cleaned by using a toothbrush and toothpaste. Because ApneaRx is designed to allow you to pull apart the upper and lower trays, it means you can thoroughly clean all surfaces of your device. This also makes ApneaRx the most hygienic choice.

How do I store my ApneaRx?

Store your cleaned ApneaRx in the supplied case. This ensures that it will retain its shape and prevent accidental damage.

How often should ApneaRx be replaced?

Each ApneaRx undergoes normal wear and tear through the course of nightly use. We recommend replacing the unit every 12 months.

Some individuals grind their teeth (bruxism), more than others and therefore may need to replace it more often.
