Sleep Apnoea and Snoring Solutions in Melbourne
Waking up exhausted, even after a whole night in bed? You’re not alone. Many people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) experience poor sleep quality that takes a toll on their energy, focus, and long-term health. The good news? There’s a more comfortable alternative to the CPAP machine.
Our team offers mandibular advancement splints (MAS), custom-made oral appliances designed to reduce snoring and improve airflow while you’re asleep. These devices are a noninvasive, well-tolerated option for those looking to breathe easier at night without bulky equipment or noise.
What Is Sleep Apnoea?
Sleep apnoea is a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night. The most common type—obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)—occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much, temporarily blocking the airway. This can lead to loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and waking up feeling unrefreshed. Over time, untreated sleep apnoea can increase the risk of serious health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue that affects your mood, memory, and performance.
A More Comfortable Way to Sleep
There are no wires, straps, or machine hum. Just a simple, 3D-printed appliance that gently holds your lower jaw forward, helping to keep your airway open while you rest.
Unlike older models like Somnodent, our MAS devices are printed using modern nylon technology and tailored for each patient’s mouth. The result? A more precise fit and greater comfort, even for those who breathe through their mouths as they slumber.
Please note: Patients must have at least six lower teeth to qualify for this option.
