The Bed-time Boogies
A survey conducted in 2016 by the Sleep Health Foundation, Australia revealed that over 19% of the total population in Australia is suffering from sleep-related disorders. At Sleep Dentistry Melbourne, our dental experts work on easing your snoring and sleep apnea symptoms.
- Snoring
Abrupt snoring -which is a result of an air passage block in your nose or throat, not only intervenes in your deep sleep in the middle of the night, but it also spoils your partner’s bedtime.
- Sleep Apnea
On the other hand, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) blocks your thorax - reducing your oxygen consumption and resulting in momentary waking up throughout the night.
- Bruxism
Bruxism is commonly referred to as teeth grinding. It is caused by the involuntary movement of your jaw joint while sleeping. It is also a sign that the person may soon develop TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders).
It is common for dentists to struggle to categorize or diagnose the actual sleep disorder that you may be facing. However, our team asleep Dentistry Melbournedoes it with ease. We also devise means that will prevent the symptoms to crop up any time in the future. The full credit for this to the years of experience of our panel.
Our solutions for ensuring deep sleep
Are you suffering from one of the disorders we mentioned earlier? Don’t worry! We are here to help you out. On your first visit to Sleep Dentistry Melbourne, we monitor your sleep patterns and provide you with an oral mold or a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure).
The sedation procedures are conducted in a safe and professional way to induce sleep, after discussing in detail treatments to be done.
The oral mold will lift your jaw while you are at rest, potentially widening the air passage. This will cut off the snoring and help apnea patients, ensuring smoother breathing patterns throughout your night. These custom made oral molds are weightless and very comfortable, so much so that you won't even realize you are wearing them the whole night.
Alternatively, a CPAP machine can also be prescribed. The patients are made to wear a mask the whole night in this procedure. The machine applies continuous air pressure on the breathing passages, preventing any muscular blockages.
