Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is ​one of ​the most common​ sleep disorder and results in low oxygen flow to vital organs and​ can have a big impact on health and quality of life 💤 The most common symptom of OSA is snoring. ​Snoring is not just a laughing matter, it is a sign of airway obstruction. ​This is when the tongue and throat muscles relax and collapse, creating a narrow passage and obstructing breathing. When air travels through the narrowed passageway, it causes vibrations in the tissues producing snoring ​sounds.​ ​ It is dangerous if it is left untreated ⚠️ #SleepWise offers professional treatments to get back quality sleep, CONTACT US | bit.ly/3xZCKIo

We understand that it can be confusing when hearing new terminology; so, at SleepWise, we are here to help break down the different terms used to describe Oral Appliances! ✨What is an Oral Appliance? An Oral Appliance is a device worn in the mouth during sleep to treat snoring or sleep apnoea. They work by bringing the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway open. What often confuses patients are the different names that these appliances are called. Oral appliances can also be called: - Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS) - Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD) - Snoring and sleep apnoea splints - Snoring and sleep apnoea dental device - Snoring and sleep apnoea mouthguards/ mouth pieces ✨What is Oral Appliance Therapy? Oral Appliance Therapy or OAT, is the treatment of snoring or sleep apnoea with an oral appliance. It is generally safe, painless, effective and does not involve surgery.
