Frequently Asked Questions

How do oral appliances help with sleep apnoea?

Oral appliances reposition the jaw and tongue to keep your airway open, reducing the risk of airway collapse during sleep. This can minimise or eliminate interruptions in breathing.

Are oral appliances comfortable to wear?

Yes! Custom-made to fit your mouth, they’re designed for maximum comfort and adaptability, even for those with sensitive teeth or a tendency to grind.

Can I still talk or drink water while wearing an oral appliance?

Absolutely! Many models, like the SomnoDent Avant, are designed to allow some level of jaw movement, making it possible to speak or sip water if needed.
