Oral appliances, also known as mandibular advancement splints, are a medically proven treatment and are considered the first-line treatment for snoring by sleep physicians, ENT’s and other experts in the field.
It is also one of the two mainstream treatments, along with CPAP, for sleep apnoea. SleepWise oral appliances are perfect if your snoring is affecting you or your partners quality of sleep.
Improve your sleep and your health with SleepWise.
How Do Oral Appliances Work?
Snoring occurs when your airway is partially obstructed during sleep
Normal, open airway
Partially closed airway
Closed airway during an apnoea
The lower jaw is gently held forward by a custom made SleepWise oral appliance, which prevents the tongue and palate from dropping back and obstructing the airway. The end result is a refreshing night’s sleep for you and less daytime tiredness the next day! Long term benefits include less daytime fatigue, an improvement to your mood and no longer waking up with a dry or sore throat.

The SleepWise Range of Oral Appliances
Oral appliances have a variety of different names such as dental snoring mouthguards, mandibular advancement splints (MAS), mandibular advancement devices (MAD) and sleep apnoea plates or splints. They are used in oral appliance therapy (OAT) to support the airway from natural collapse during sleep.
Oral appliance therapy has long been universally regarded by sleep physicians, ENT surgeons and other experts in the field as the best available treatment for snoring and one of the only two frontline treatments for sleep apnoea.
Oral appliances are worn during sleep and work by holding the jaw slightly forward so the tongue and tissues at the back of the throat don’t collapse and obstruct the airway during sleep and are no longer collapsing into the passage of airflow.
SleepWise Clinic has a range of oral appliance designs that are custom made to fit patients comfortably and are well suited for each individual patient.
