Snoring Mouthguard

Snoring and sleep apnoea are sleep disorders related to upper airway obstruction during sleep. Snoring is a common symptom, while sleep apnoea is a more serious condition.

How can my Dentist help?

A custom-made mandibular advancement device (MAD) or mandibular advancement splint, is a dental device designed to treat snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

Benefits of a custom snoring mouthguard include:

  • Improved sleep quality
  • Greater energy levels
  • Reduced health risks associated with untreated sleep apnoea

Frequently Asked Questions

Snoring occurs when the airways at the back of the throat close. Air passing through the partially closed airway causes vibrations to occur. While snoring itself is not always a serious issue, it can be a symptom of underlying sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnoea.

This involves complete or partial airway collapse, leading to breathing pauses during sleep. This can often present as:

  • Loud snoring
  • Daytime sleepiness and fatigue
  • Chocking or gasping during sleep
  • Poor concentration and memory deterioration
  • Irritability
  • Morning headaches
