Oral Sleep Appliances
Oral sleep appliances are custom-made devices designed to improve sleep quality by addressing conditions like sleep apnoea and snoring.
Other appliances worn during sleep include occlusal splints, which protect teeth from bruxism (night-time grinding and clenching), and Essix retainers, used to maintain alignment after orthodontic treatment.

Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS), also known as anti-snoring devices, are a proven treatment option for mild to moderate sleep apnoea and snoring. These custom-made devices are worn during sleep and work by gently positioning the lower jaw forward and keeping the airway open to help reduce snoring and improve airflow, leading to more restful, uninterrupted sleep, not just for the patient, but for their partner as well! These appliances are a non-invasive alternative to CPAP therapy.

An occlusal splint is a custom-made mouthguard that protects your teeth from damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) during sleep. Many patients are unaware they have this habit, but our dentists carefully identify the signs and recommend the right treatment. We offer Premium and Nylon (almost unbreakable) splints to keep your teeth safe.

An Essix retainer is a clear, removable appliance worn at night to help maintain your teeth’s alignment after orthodontic treatment.
