Alternative Treatment Options for Sleep Apnoea and Snoring
Dental sleep medicine focuses on the use of custom-made oral appliances to help manage snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea in suitable patients. These devices are designed to support the airway during sleep, helping to improve breathing, reduce symptoms and enhance overall sleep quality.
At Melbourne Respiratory & Sleep Services, we work collaboratively with experienced dental sleep medicine providers to assess whether oral appliance therapy may be an appropriate treatment option. Following specialist evaluation and diagnostic testing where required, we can help guide patients towards the most suitable management approach for their individual needs.
