Snoring Treatment

Sleep better, breathe easier

Snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnoea can often be improved with a custom oral appliance that gently positions the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep.

Benefits of oral appliance therapy

• Comfortable, custom-made and portable
• A non-surgical option for suitable patients
• Can improve sleep quality for you and your partner

Assessment first

We assess whether an oral appliance is right for you and, when needed, coordinate with sleep specialists. You receive clear guidance and written pricing before treatment.

Assessment before snoring treatment

Snoring can occur alongside obstructive sleep apnoea. For this reason, symptoms are reviewed in detail before an oral appliance is planned, and the results of a sleep study (polysomnography) are examined where appropriate. Where there is excessive daytime sleepiness, witnessed pauses in breathing or morning headaches, assessment is carried out in cooperation with the relevant medical specialties.

Adapting to the appliance and caring for it

With a custom-made appliance, mild pressure around the jaw and teeth is common in the first nights and usually decreases. The appliance should be cleaned each morning and stored as advised. At review appointments, the fit of the appliance, the bite and any change in symptoms are assessed, and adjustments are made when needed.

The role of daily habits

Weight change, alcohol intake, sleeping on the back and nasal congestion can all influence the severity of snoring. An oral appliance planned alongside advice on these factors offers a more complete approach. Treatment decisions and follow-up are always based on clinical assessment.
