Effective Sleep Apnoea Treatment in East Melbourne
Do You Struggle with Snoring or Daytime Fatigue?
If you experience loud snoring, excessive tiredness, or frequent awakenings during the night, you may have sleep apnoea. This condition disrupts breathing, leading to poor sleep quality and potential health risks.
Could You Have Sleep Apnoea?
Answer YES to two or more of these questions, and you may be at risk:
✔ Do you snore?
✔ Are you excessively tired during the day?
✔ Have you woken short of breath during the night?
✔ Do you have a history of hypertension?
✔ Are you overweight?
✔ Do you wake with a headache?
✔ Do you feel sleepy during the day?
What is Sleep Apnoea?
Sleep apnoea occurs when the airway collapses during sleep, temporarily stopping breathing. The brain signals the body to wake slightly, leading to gasping or snorting before resuming sleep. This cycle can repeat hundreds of times per night, affecting both the sufferer and their partner.
How We Treat Sleep Apnoea in East Melbourne
There are several options for managing mild to moderate sleep apnoea and snoring, including:
✔ Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS) – A custom-made oral device that repositions the lower jaw, preventing the tongue from blocking the airway.
✔ SomnoDent Sleep Apnoea Device – A clinically proven, comfortable alternative to CPAP, designed for mild to moderate sleep apnoea and snoring.
✔ Lifestyle Modifications – Weight loss, avoiding alcohol before bed, and adjusting sleep positions can help reduce symptoms.

How SomnoDent Works
Worn during sleep, the SomnoDent device fits over the upper and lower teeth, gently moving the lower jaw forward. This prevents airway collapse and allows for uninterrupted breathing, significantly reducing snoring and sleep disturbances.

Get the Right Diagnosis
A dentist cannot diagnose sleep apnoea—a referral from a sleep physician following a sleep test is required. If diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnoea, a MAS or SomnoDent device may be the best treatment option.
