Sleep Apnoea and Snoring Treatment in Warners Bay
Do you snore or wake up several times a night? While snoring can be frustrating, it can indicate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). SmilesHQ offers custom-made oral appliances, such as occlusal guards and splints, to relieve symptoms of OSA and snoring so you can get the restful sleep you need.
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnoea?
Obstructive sleep apnoea occurs when the muscles in your throat relax or soft oral tissues block your airway. OSA usually disrupts your breathing and makes it difficult to get enough oxygen. People with OSA can wake up multiple times during sleep, preventing them from receiving the rest their body needs.
Other common symptoms include:
- A dry or sore throat after waking up
- Drowsiness
- Headaches
- Irritability or mood swings
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Untreated sleep apnoea can lead to other health concerns, such as:
- High blood pressure
- Stroke
- Depression
- Diabetes
- ADHD
- Heart failure
At SmilesHQ, we understand that better sleep means better quality of life.
Treatment for Snoring and Sleep Apnoea in Warners Bay
During your initial visit, we will screen you for sleep apnoea and discuss your options. If there’s no diagnosed sleep apnoea, then we will order a sleep study at the pharmacy or refer you to a general practitioner for a sleep study.
SmilesHQ can help reduce or relieve your issues with snoring or sleep apnoea. Using SomnoMed® digital intraoral scanning, we design and produce reliable, consistent oral appliance therapy. We create customised oral appliances that comfortably fit the unique contours of your mouth.
Unlike store-bought oral appliances, our custom-fitted ones are flexible, slender and durable, which makes sleeping more comfortable. The device works by slightly moving your upper jaw forward and opening your airway, and it reduces the vibration that causes snoring.
If you or your sleeping partner struggles with snoring or sleep apnoea, we invite you to book a consultation with our team at SmilesHQ.
