Sleep Apnoea And Snoring Support For Lismore Patients
Poor sleep can show up in more ways than one. You might wake with a dry mouth, feel foggy through the day, hear from your partner that your snoring is getting worse, or struggle to feel refreshed even after a full night in bed. For many Lismore and Tweed Heads patients, these issues may be linked to obstructive sleep apnoea, often called OSA.
A mandibular advancement splint (MAS) is a custom-made oral appliance worn during sleep. Rather than using a mask or machine, it works by gently positioning the lower jaw forward to help reduce airway narrowing. For suitable patients, this can make breathing easier at night and may help reduce snoring and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Dental Sleep Professionals provides oral appliance treatment for patients across Lismore, Tweed Heads, the Northern Rivers and Sydney. Our team can assess your symptoms, review any sleep study results and help you understand whether a custom splint is a suitable path forward.
If CPAP has been hard to tolerate, or you are looking into treatment for the first time, our Lismore/Tweed Heads team can guide you through your options clearly and comfortably.
