Your Guide To Sleep Apnoea & Snoring Treatment
Whether you snore occasionally or have been living with sleep apnoea for years, understanding your condition is the first step toward doing something about it. This is your guide - clear, evidence-based and built around you.
Learn more about oral appliances, snoring treatment, sleep apnoea treatment and the alternatives to CPAP therapy, as well as teeth grinding and jaw joint pain.
Snoring
Snoring affects 2 in 5 Australians and is more than just a nuisance.
It is a sign that your airway is being partially obstructed during sleep - and for many people, it is the first indication of something worth investigating.
Effective, comfortable treatment is available.
Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea is a serious but highly treatable condition in which the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep.
Many people live with it for years without knowing. Understanding it is the first step toward doing something about it.
Oral Appliances
Oral appliances come in several forms - from the latest generation of custom 3D-printed devices to over-the-counter options you can buy without a prescription.
Understanding the difference matters, because the type of appliance you use has a direct bearing on how comfortable, effective and safe your treatment will be.
Is An Oral Appliance Right For Me?
Not sure whether an oral appliance is the right treatment for your situation?
This page walks you through who is most likely to benefit, what the treatment involves and what to expect, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
CPAP Treatment & CPAP Alternatives
Already on CPAP and struggling? Or trying to understand your options before you commit?
This page covers both - what CPAP involves, when it is the right choice, and when a custom oral appliance may be a better fit for your lifestyle and needs.
Bruxism & The TMJ
Teeth grinding and temporomandibular joint or jaw pain are more common than most people realise, and more connected to snoring and sleep apnoea than you might think.
If you wake with a sore jaw, headaches or worn teeth, this is worth reading.
“Being able to see the difference it makes for my patients is fulfilling and I am very grateful for the opportunity to help them.”
