Snoring & Sleep Apnoea

Snoring and sleep apnoea can have a significant impact on daily life, affecting both the individual and those around them. Poor sleep quality can lead to:

  • Daytime sleepiness and fatigue
  • Reduced motivation and energy levels
  • Increased stress
  • Difficulty concentrating and reduced performance
  • Risks associated with driving while tired

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can also contribute to more serious health concerns, including:

  • Increased risk of high blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Greater likelihood of cardiovascular disease
  • Increased risk of type 2 diabetes
  • Links to mental health concerns

A mandibular advancement splint can be used to treat snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea. These custom-made appliances work by gently holding the lower jaw in a forward position to help keep the airway open during sleep, improving breathing and reducing disruption.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Sleepwell?

The Sleepwell is a dental appliance, worn at night, that stops or reduces your snoring.

It consists of two pieces and is designed to slot over both dental arches.

How does it work?

The Sleepwell features a small mechanism that holds the lower jaw in a forward position.

This prevents the airway from collapsing and the tissues at the back of the throat from vibrating, reducing the snoring sound.

Is it comfortable to wear?

Yes, the appliance is custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably. Most patients adjust to it quickly with regular use.
