Man being kept awake by snoring

A serious issue

Snoring and sleep apnoea

Snoring and sleep apnoea can have an immense impact on the sufferer, their partner and their family.

Effects can include:  
• Daytime sleepiness
• Motivational issues
• High stress levels
• Lack of energy
• Driving whilst tired
• Poor effectiveness

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is also shown to contribute to more serious health issues:
• Increased risk of mental health concerns
• Increased blood pressure/hypertension
• Increased risk of diabetes
• Heightened chance of cadiovascular disease

A mandibular advancement splint can be used to treat snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea. These appliances work by preventing closure of the airway by holding the lower jaw in a stable position.
