About Peninsula Snore Clinic
The Peninsula Snore Clinic, located within The Smile Place Mt Eliza, provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for snoring and sleep apnoea. We work closely with sleep physicians and GPs to deliver patient-centred care using the latest dental sleep medicine techniques.
Our clinic focuses on non-invasive, comfortable solutions such as Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS) — a proven and convenient alternative to CPAP machines for mild to moderate cases of sleep apnoea.
Meet Dr Andre Schertel - Fellow of Dental Sleep Medicine (FSDM)
Our Principal Dentist, Dr Andre Schertel (BDS [Bra], PGDip Implant [Melb], FSDM), leads our sleep apnoea and snoring treatment program. With over two decades of experience and a postgraduate degree in Clinical Dentistry (Oral Implants) from the University of Melbourne, Dr Andre brings advanced knowledge and a holistic approach to patient care.

This recognition reflects his expertise in dental-based treatments for sleep disorders and his commitment to ongoing education and innovation in patient care.
Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS)
A Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS) is a custom-made oral appliance designed to gently reposition your lower jaw forward during sleep. This helps keep your airway open, reducing snoring and preventing apnoea events.
- Lightweight and Portable: Similar to a sports mouthguard, easy to wear and travel with.
- Comfortable Fit: Custom-fitted using 3D digital scans for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
- Adjustable Design: Allows fine-tuning of jaw position for optimal results.
- Proven Results: Effective for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnoea or CPAP intolerance.
- Locally Made: All devices are Australian-crafted for quality and durability.
We are independent of any specific manufacturer and offer leading designs such as Somnomed, Oventus, O2Vent, Avera, TAP3, and innovative 3D-printed Nylon Dorsal appliances — ensuring the best solution for your individual needs.
