Airway-Centred Dentistry
We take a comprehensive view of your airway health and consider how factors like jaw alignment, nasal breathing and overall facial structure impact sleep apnoea. Treatments like palate expansion or orthodontics can help widen the airway and improve breathing patterns.
Customised Oral Appliances
Oral appliances, like SomnoDent®, are lightweight, non-invasive and easy to wear. They reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. Many patients report that they’re an ideal and practical solution for seeking relief without the need for surgery or bulky CPAP machines.
Oral Myofunctional Therapy
Oral myofunctional therapy focuses on retraining the muscles of the tongue, throat and face to function properly during rest and sleep. Our holistic approach includes guided exercises to strengthen these muscles so they can remain open without intervention.
