Studies have shown that oral dental appliances are an effective, safe and simple treatment options for suffers of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. These oral devices are discrete and fit snugly into your mouth. They do not require a mask, nor a machine and have been proven as an effective treatment option for mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) sufferers. They can also be considered as an option, in consultation with your sleep specialist if you have more severe sleep apnea but are unable to tolerate CPAP.

If untreated the complications from Sleep Apnoea include, daytime sleepiness, cardiovascular problems and eye problems. But the patient may not be the only one suffering the consequences, often bed partners are also sleep deprived.

Before deciding how to treat your sleeping issues, it is important you consult a sleep specialist to understand the cause. Not all sleeping problems are the same. Sleep apnea affects many people and is often undiagnosed.
