In addition to snoring, I suffer from Sleep Apnoea and distress during sleep. Is Velumount® suitable for me?
The CPAP therapy is the medically recognised and most effective therapy for Sleep Apnea. However, for those who are intolerant to the use of CPAP machine, Velumount® could prove to be a low side-effects alternative. Snorers, who suspect that they suffer from Sleep Apnea, must, in every case, undertake a medical sleep quality assessment, to check the efficiency of the Velumount® brace.

Yes, once the brace is individually adapted to your anatomy, you can speak normally and drink too.
What is the difference between Velumount® brace and other anti-snore clips available in the market?
The principle behind the Velumount® brace is a mechanical correction of the weakened/flaccid tissues of the soft palate. Besides, with Velumount®, you can speak normally, drink water normally, and enjoy complete freedom and normalcy of mouth movement. The fitting of our Velumount® brace is independent of your dentition. Most clips and devices available in the market are based on the principle of jaw correction. You can neither speak, nor drink with such so-called jaw protrusion splints. Any jaw-protrusion device is supported by your dentition. (When your molars have been removed, the fit is not always satisfactory.)
Must I consult my family doctor or ENT Specialist before a Velumount® fitting?
No, You can register for a Velumount® fitting directly with us.
Can the Velumount® brace be swallowed accidentally?
No, the brace cannot be swallowed, not even by accident, due to its shape and fitting.
