Sleep Apnoea/Snoring Treatment

If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea, you may be wondering if an oral appliance is the proper treatment for you. Oral appliances are a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines, helping to keep your airway open while you sleep.

At Wahroonga Village Dentistry, we offer custom-fitted oral appliances designed to improve breathing and reduce sleep apnoea symptoms.

Who Can Benefit from an Oral Appliance?

An oral appliance may be a good option for you if:

  • You have mild to moderate sleep apnoea — Oral appliances are most effective for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea.
  • You struggle with CPAP therapy — If you find a CPAP machine uncomfortable or difficult to use, an oral appliance may be a more convenient alternative.
  • You want a portable option — Oral appliances are small and easy to travel with, making them ideal for frequent travellers.
  • You experience snoring — Even if you don’t have sleep apnoea, an oral appliance can help reduce snoring and improve sleep quality.
