Hushd Pro Avera

The Hushd Pro Avera is a custom-fitted oral device used to treat snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. It sits over your teeth and gently holds your lower jaw forward during sleep, keeping your airway open. Made from medical-grade nylon and manufactured using 3D printing technology, it works entirely inside the mouth - no mask, no machine, no noise. It's a practical long-term option, particularly for people who can't tolerate CPAP or want a simpler approach.

The Hushd Pro Avera device gently moves your lower jaw forward during sleep, preventing the tongue and soft tissues from collapsing backward and blocking the airway. The result is smoother, more stable breathing throughout the night. It uses a system of upper and lower splints with dorsal fins and protrusive blocks, allowing for controlled, gradual adjustment. Over time, your clinician can fine-tune the position to get the best results for you.

CPAP delivers pressurised air through a mask to keep the airway open. The Hushd Pro Avera does the same thing mechanically, by repositioning the jaw. CPAP is typically recommended for moderate to severe sleep apnoea, while mandibular advancement devices (MAS) are most effective for mild to moderate cases. For those patients, the evidence shows comparable outcomes between the two treatments. Many people prefer an oral device because it's smaller, quieter, and easier to use - though CPAP may still be the better choice for more severe cases or significant daytime symptoms.

When considering whether CPAP or MAS is the optimal sleep apnea treatment for you, speak to both a sleep professional and a dentist.

The Hushd Pro Avera is designed for people with primary snoring or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) who want an effective, discreet alternative to CPAP. It may be a good fit if you:

• Snore regularly and it's disrupting your sleep or your partner's

• Have been diagnosed with mild to moderate OSA

• Have tried CPAP and found it uncomfortable or hard to maintain

• Use CPAP consistently but want a more portable, travel-friendly option

• Prefer a simpler solution without a mask, tubing, or machine

Because the device relies on dental support, suitable candidates should have healthy teeth and a stable jaw structure. A sleep study and dental assessment are recommended before fitting.

For mild to moderate OSA, mandibular advancement devices have comparable efficacy to CPAP in improving symptoms and outcomes.1If you experience significant daytime symptoms such as severe fatigue, speak with your clinician about the most appropriate treatment for you.

It may look similar, but the Hushd Pro Avera is a clinically designed medical device - not a protective mouthguard. Where a sports mouthguard simply cushions the teeth, this device actively repositions your jaw to maintain an open airway during sleep. It's custom-made using 3D digital scans and precisely engineered for therapeutic effect, making it fundamentally different from basic one-size-fits-all oral devices.

Custom devices like the Hushd Pro Avera are made from detailed dental scans and reviewed by a qualified dentist, ensuring a precise fit, better retention, and more reliable outcomes. Over the counter devices are moulded at home and intended as a temporary or trial solution. They can offer short-term relief for some users, but they're less precise, less durable, and less comfortable. For long-term treatment, a custom-fitted device is the recommended choice.

The Hushd Pro Avera is built for long-term use. It's manufactured from medical-grade Nylon Polyamide 12 - a material chosen for its strength and durability - and comes with a 3-year warranty. With proper daily cleaning and correct storage, many patients find it lasts well beyond that. Regular dental check-ins are recommended to ensure the device continues to perform effectively and to monitor any changes in your bite or dental structure.

Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve within the first few weeks as your body adjusts. These can include jaw discomfort, tooth sensitivity, increased saliva, or a dry mouth. Long-term use can occasionally lead to minor changes in bite alignment, which is why ongoing dental review is important. Proper fitting and gradual titration significantly reduce the likelihood of issues. If you have a history of jaw pain or temporomandibular joint problems, a careful assessment by a specialist dentist is highly advised.

The Hushd Pro Avera may not be suitable for people with severe obstructive sleep apnoea, central sleep apnoea, temporomandibular joint disorders, significant jaw pain, or poor dental health. It also requires sufficient teeth and jaw stability to work effectively. An assessment by both a sleep professional and a dentist is recommended to determine whether this is the right treatment for you.

No prescription is required - however, a sleep study and consultation with a doctor and dentist are strongly recommended before commencing sleep apnea treatment. This helps confirm the right diagnosis and ensures the Hushd Pro Avera is the most appropriate option for you.

Yes. The Hushd Pro Avera comes with a 3-year warranty. If the fit isn't right, you're also eligible for a complimentary remake within 30 days of receiving your device.

From the date of your 3D scan appointment, your custom Hushd Pro Avera is generally ready within 4 weeks.

Week 1: Mild jaw or tooth tenderness in the morning is normal. Most patients adjust within 7–10 days. Snoring typically stops on night one.

Weeks 2–4: Fine-tune the advancement (how far forward your jaw is held). Most devices let you adjust in small increments - more advancement means better airway opening, but also more jaw work.

After 30 days: A follow-up appointment with a consultant either in-person or via telehealth to check in on your progress and comfort.

Long term: Daily cleaning, occasional dental check-ins to make sure your bite hasn't shifted, and replacement every 2–5 years.
