Oral Appliance Therapy (often known as Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS), are custom-made oral devices designed to support breathing during sleep. They work by gently stabilising the lower jaw in a slightly forward position, helping to keep the airway open throughout the night.
By improving airway stability, Oral Appliance Therapy can significantly reduce snoring and effectively manage obstructive sleep apnoea. A discreet, comfortable alternative to CPAP, it is a practical solution for those wanting a non-invasive treatment that fits easily into everyday life and supports better, more restful sleep.
What is Oral Appliance Therapy?
Sleep Success From Real People
Your Journey to Better Sleep Starts Here
-
Step 1: FREE Screening
Many adults who snore may have undiagnosed sleep apnoea, a condition that can affect health and wellbeing. Sleep Matters offers a free consultation to discuss sleep patterns, review symptoms, and assess risk.
Appointments can be booked in-clinic or online, providing flexibility for different schedules. Early assessment helps identify the most suitable approach for improving sleep quality.
-
Step 2: At-Home Sleep Study
A sleep study conducted at home monitors breathing, oxygen levels, and overall sleep patterns. Results are reviewed by a specialist Sleep Physician, providing an official diagnosis for accurate management.
Home-based testing is simple, convenient, and non-invasive. Understanding sleep patterns allows informed decisions about treatment and supports long-term health improvements.
-
Step 3: Custom Oral Appliance
Advanced digital scanning creates oral appliances designed for optimal fit, comfort, and effectiveness. These devices support better breathing, reduce snoring, and improve overall sleep quality.
Standard over-the-counter options often fail to deliver results. Custom appliances offer a reliable, safe, and comfortable solution for long-term sleep improvement.
