Understanding
Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing is interrupted during sleep, leading to frequent awakenings and poor-quality rest. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much, blocking your airway.
At North Queensland Family Dental, we specialize in the treatment of sleep apnea with SomnoMed's precision-crafted oral appliances, designed to help you breathe easier and sleep soundly. These devices work by repositioning your jaw to keep your airways open, ensuring uninterrupted sleep without the discomfort of bulky CPAP machines.
What's Involved
Initial Consultation
Your journey towards better sleep begins with a comprehensive consultation, where our expert team will assess your sleep patterns and symptoms. We will discuss your concerns and determine the best treatment options for you, focusing on your comfort and health. If necessary, we may recommend a sleep study or refer you to a sleep specialist to fully understand the severity of your condition.
Custom-Fit SomnoMed Device
Once we determine that an oral appliance is the right solution, we will create a personalised treatment plan using SomnoMed's cutting-edge technology. Using digital scans of your teeth and jaw, we ensure that your device is custom-made for the perfect fit. SomnoMed’s devices are designed for comfort and precise effectiveness, ensuring a solution that fits comfortably from day one.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
After receiving your SomnoMed device, we’ll provide follow-up appointments to ensure the appliance is working effectively and comfortably. If adjustments are needed, we’ll fine-tune the fit to ensure optimal results, allowing you to enjoy peaceful, restorative sleep.
