Understanding Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)
Snoring is a common issue that affects both the individual and their partner, often disrupting sleep and reducing overall well-being. In some cases, snoring is more than just an annoyance; it can be a symptom of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), a condition where the airway repeatedly becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, leading to fragmented sleep and reduced oxygen intake.
Mild to moderate OSA can have significant health implications, including daytime fatigue, poor concentration, and an increased risk of conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Fortunately, there are effective treatment options available, including the Sleepwell™ Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS), which we offer at William Place Dental Aesthetics in Bow, East London.
What is the Sleepwell™ Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS)?
The Sleepwell™ MAS is a custom-made, clinically proven oral appliance designed to reduce snoring and treat mild to moderate OSA. It works by gently repositioning the lower jaw (mandible) forward while you sleep, helping to keep the airway open and allowing for normal breathing. This reduces snoring and minimises the interruptions in breathing associated with OSA.
Benefits of Sleepwell™ MAS
Highly Effective: Studies show that the Sleepwell™ MAS can significantly reduce snoring and improve symptoms of mild to moderate OSA.
Comfortable and Custom-Fit: Unlike generic mouthguards, the Sleepwell™ device is custom-made for each patient, ensuring a comfortable fit and better compliance.
Adjustable for Optimal Effectiveness: The device allows for micro-adjustments to fine-tune the jaw position for maximum effectiveness and comfort.
Non-Invasive Alternative to CPAP: For patients with mild to moderate OSA, the Sleepwell™ MAS offers a non-invasive alternative to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy.
Durable and Long-Lasting: The appliance is made from high-quality materials designed for long-term use.
Who Can Benefit from Sleepwell™ MAS?
Individuals suffering from persistent snoring that disrupts their sleep or their partner’s sleep.
Patients diagnosed with mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) who want a more convenient alternative to CPAP therapy.
Those who find CPAP therapy uncomfortable or difficult to tolerate.
Anyone looking for a non-surgical, non-invasive solution to improve their sleep quality.
