Meet Dr. John Eloff
B.CH.D (PRET) M.CH.D (STEL)
Dr John Eloff has had a successful orthodontic practice in Wynberg since 1980 and has decided to limit his practice to the treatment of snoring and invisible braces.
Dr Eloffs’ interest in the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea was stimulated by Dr Ricky Raine in 1994. Dr Raine is an ENT specialist and pulmologist who at that time ran the sleep laboratory at Groot Schuur. On one of their weekend runs he asked Dr Eloff if he was treating snoring patients as he noted that the orthodontic literature had articles on the treatment of snoring. He stimulated and encouraged Dr Eloff to read the literature and his first 10 patients were referred to him by Dr Raine.
The appliance Dr Eloff used at that time was the NAPA (Nocturnal Airway Patency Appliance). This was a hard acrylic appliance with wire claps to hold the appliance in the mouth with a tube like projection out of the mouth for air. It was very uncomfortable and none of the patients managed to use it for any length of time.
