Treatment for Snoring & Sleep Apnoea

What is Sleep Apnoea?

You have been experiencing difficulty sleeping. You may be snoring loudly, or you may be gasping or choking at night. In addition, you may be excessively tired during the day, have morning headaches and may be depressed or irritable.

If you have Sleep Apnoea, your airway collapses during sleep and prevents air from getting to your lungs. You stop breathing momentarily, which causes sleep disturbances and puts a strain on your heart.

One of the treatment choices Derek can prescribe is a custom made Mandibular Advancement Splint for you, such as SomnoDent®.
 

Some signs and symptoms of Sleep Apnoea can be:

• Excessive snoring
• Partner notices you stop breathing
• Choking sensation during sleep
• Frequent visits to the bathroom during the night
• Daytime tiredness
• Lack of energy
• Poor concentration/memory
• Falling asleep during the day

How does SomnoDent® help?

A SomnoDent® device gently and noninvasively adjusts the forward movement of your jaw, which in turn opens your airway to help you breathe easily and sleep restfully.

Derek MARK can construct a dental device upon a definite sleep apnoea diagnosis.
