Working together with other health professionals, we can find solutions to help you sleep better.
What is obstructive sleep apnoea?
Many people suffer from sleep apnoea without knowing it. In obstructive sleep apnoea, throat muscles and airways relax, restricting airflow and causing an obstruction. When this occurs for more than 10 seconds, it’s known as an apnoea. The lack of oxygen causes your body to wake up throughout the night without you noticing, resulting in poor sleep. This can lead to feelings of fatigue during the day.

How do you treat obstructive sleep apnoea?
At Dentistry on George, we can help treat the symptoms of sleep apnoea and snoring by working closely with sleep physicians to find the right treatment for you. They may recommend an oral device, called a mandibular advancement splint. These work by moving the lower jaw forward, thus enlarging the airway space and reducing the apnoea episodes.
As we want our work to be backed by the latest research, we use the most up-to-date treatments. Studies have shown significant clinical benefits, and the large majority of patients find it comfortable to wear.
