A good night’s sleep is essential for your health, yet many Australians struggle with snoring and sleep apnoea. Not only can these conditions leave you feeling tired, but they may also affect your overall wellbeing. At Divine Dental Care in Croydon, we offer dental appliances that can make a big difference.
What Causes Snoring and Sleep Apnoea?
- Snoring happens when the soft tissues in your throat relax and partially block your airway, creating vibration sounds.
- Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is more serious. The airway becomes blocked repeatedly during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. This can lower oxygen levels and place stress on your body.
Why It Matters
Snoring may seem harmless, but sleep apnoea has been linked to:
- Daytime fatigue and poor concentration
- Increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease
- Disturbed sleep for both you and your partner
Recognising and treating the problem early is key to protecting your health.
How Dental Appliances Help
Dental appliances, sometimes called oral splints or mandibular advancement devices, are custom-made to fit your mouth. They work by gently repositioning your jaw forward during sleep, keeping your airway open.
Benefits of Dental Appliances
- Comfortable and easy to wear
- Portable and convenient for travel
- Non-invasive compared to surgery
- Proven to reduce snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea
Is a Dental Appliance Right for You?
If you’ve been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnoea or suffer from disruptive snoring, a dental appliance may be a great option. For more severe cases, appliances can sometimes be used alongside CPAP therapy.
