Why Treat Snoring and Sleep Apnoea?
Chronic snoring and sleep apnoea can lead to a variety of health issues, including:
- Daytime fatigue
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Stroke and diabetes
- Impaired memory and concentration
- Mood and personality changes
The Solution: Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS)
Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS) are custom-made dental devices that help treat snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. The MAS gently repositions your lower jaw, keeping your airway open and allowing you to breathe freely while you sleep. Unlike CPAP machines and surgery, MAS is comfortable, cost-effective, and easy to use.
The Process: What to Expect
Initial Consultation: You’ll meet with Dr. Andre or one of our trained professionals to discuss your symptoms and assess whether you need a sleep study.
Optional Sleep Study: We can also arrange for you to have a home sleep study if required’
First Visit at Peninsula Snore Clinic: If you’re a suitable candidate for MAS, we’ll take digital scans of your teeth to create your custom appliance.
Fitting: Your second visit will be dedicated to fitting your new MAS and ensuring that it’s comfortable and effective.
Follow-Up Care: After four weeks, we’ll check the appliance and make any necessary adjustments. Regular follow-ups ensure your treatment stays on track.
