Sleep Apnoea & Snoring
Quieten the snoring and sleep better with a custom dental device, a comfortable alternative to a CPAP machine for the right people.
Is any of this you?
- You snore most nights.
- Your partner sleeps elsewhere.
- You wake up tired anyway.
- You want to try something simpler.
None of this fixes itself.
Snoring is not
a noise problem
-
Snoring keeps the whole house awake.
Understanding your options
Assessment comes before an appliance
Snoring and sleep apnoea need an appropriate assessment. A dental appliance may be an option for some people, particularly selected adults with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. It is not a universal replacement for CPAP or other prescribed care.
A dentist needs to assess suitability from a dental perspective and coordinate with the relevant medical practitioner. Ask how treatment effectiveness will be checked and which follow-up reviews are needed. Long-term appliance use also needs monitoring for tooth movement and jaw-joint effects.
If you already use prescribed sleep-apnoea treatment, discuss changes with your treating clinician. A website description cannot determine which treatment is appropriate for you.

Snoring & sleep questions
Is a dental device better than a CPAP machine?
Neither is simply better, they suit different people. CPAP is very effective for moderate-to-severe sleep apnoea. A dental device is a comfortable, easy-to-live-with option for snoring and milder apnoea, with no mask or hose. We'll help you work out what fits, alongside your doctor.
Will it stop my snoring?
For many people it makes a real difference by holding the jaw forward and keeping the airway open. Results vary from person to person, and we adjust the device to get the best result for you.
Do I need a sleep study first?
If sleep apnoea is suspected, yes, a sleep study and your doctor help confirm what's going on so the right treatment is chosen. For simple snoring, we can often help more directly. We'll guide you on the right path.
Is it comfortable to wear?
It's custom-made to your mouth, so it's far more comfortable than an off-the-shelf device, and we adjust it until it feels right. Most people get used to it quickly.
