CPD Masterclass: DocSnoreNix©

An essential hands-on course for producing a quality anti snoring device with scientific background and a robust design.

Hosted by Panadent with Martin Thaden, Dreve’s Product Manager and Master Dental Technician.

The DocSnorenix© anti snoring device was developed by Dreve in cooperation with Dr Schmitt-Bylandt. The patented DocSnorenix© anti-snoring device has been  described in a recent study as an ‘ideal, customised SNX splint system which brings the lower jaw into a protruded position during sleep’. DocSnorenix© patented spring system was especially developed for the SNX splint. A unique feature of the SNX splint is that it is made of Nitinol, a material that has been used in heart surgery for many years. Nitinol is characterised by high flexible strength and optimal memory like properties, and offers excellent biocompatibility.
