Sleep Apnoea Appliances

Do you wake up feeling tired every day? Have you been told that you snore while you sleep? If your answer is yes, you might benefit from using a custom-made sleep apnea dental appliance. Sleep apnea can have a significant impact on your life and may lead to more severe health problems if left untreated. It’s a prevalent condition that causes you to stop breathing during sleep, often accompanied by symptoms like snoring, feeling unrefreshed upon waking up, and daytime sleepiness. Despite brief and frequent episodes of stopped breathing, individuals are often unaware of it.

Sleep apnea appliances are a highly effective way to treat this condition. Many people notice an improvement in their symptoms immediately after the first use. These appliances can help with snoring and insomnia, leading to better sleep quality and improved overall health. Don’t let sleep apnea affect your life; consult with us to learn more about how a custom-made sleep apnea dental appliance can benefit you.

 

What Is It?

Sleep apnea appliances are designed to treat sleep apnea and similar sleep disorders. Worn throughout the night, they work by holding your jaw in a forward position, which keeps your airways open, allowing for normal breathing. This helps prevent loud snoring and disruptive waking caused by sleep apnea.

Custom-made sleep apnea appliances must be fitted by a dentist or orthodontist. Because they’re tailored to fit your unique needs, they’re comfortable and easy to wear. Unlike other sleep apnea solutions, such as CPAP machines, these appliances are highly portable and easy to care for. With a custom-made sleep apnea appliance, you can enjoy uninterrupted and restful sleep, leading to improved overall health and well-being.

FAQs

The price for removing wisdom teeth may vary depending on your circumstances. Taking care of your oral health is crucial to avoid potential future complications. Thus, it is usually advisable to have your wisdom teeth removed. If you experience pain caused by your wisdom teeth, there is no need to worry. We suggest seeing a dentist who can examine your wisdom teeth and provide you with an estimated cost for their removal.
 

When your wisdom teeth erupt the pain can be constant or it can come and go. It can begin as minor pain and get more severe as the gums become inflamed and irritated around the tooth. In most cases, wisdom teeth pain won’t go away until the tooth causing you problems is removed. The pain may temporarily disappear but will return and cause discomfort again. Wisdom tooth removal is the best option for permanent pain relief.

 
At our clinic, we prioritise your dental health and comfort. Removing wisdom teeth can be done by a dentist or an oral surgeon, with our primary objective of ensuring a pain-free procedure. Anaesthesia is provided during the removal process, and the type of anesthesia given may vary depending on your specific needs. Some patients may receive local anesthesia, while others may require full sedation.
 

Wisdom tooth discomfort is distinct from other types of bodily discomfort. It may feel bothersome and irritating, resulting in swelling and inflammation in your mouth. Occasionally, you might have jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and encounter issues while brushing and swallowing. If you have wisdom teeth problems, we recommend making an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible.
