Sleep Apnoea

What is Sleep Apnoea?

Sleep Apnoea is a serious sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. The most common symptom of Sleep Apnoea is chronic snoring. Sleep Apnoea causes breathing pauses in your sleep referred to as obstructive Sleep Apnoea or OSA. A person with OSA may have 30 or more breathing pauses an hour each of which results in you intermittently awakening then falling asleep again. It occurs when a person’s breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to interrupted sleep and reduced oxygen levels in the body.

What if Sleep Apnoea isn't treated?

Some people think they can just live with chronic snoring and Sleep Apnoea and don’t need to do anything about it. The problem with that approach is that ongoing fatigue and Sleep Apnoea can lead to potentially serious problems if left untreated.

Sleep apnoea is also associated with a significantly increased risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease as well as other health issues such as high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, increased risk of heart disease, heart failure and depression. In addition, chronic snoring can also have adverse effects on those close to you, effecting other’s sleep, mood and relationships.

How we treat snoring and Sleep Apnoea

We treat snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) using the OPTISLEEP oral appliance, a custom-designed solution tailored to each patient. This innovative device is highly effective for managing snoring and mild to moderate OSA and offers a non-invasive alternative for those with severe OSA who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy or prefer to avoid surgery.

The OPTISLEEP appliance works by gently positioning the lower jaw and tongue forward, ensuring the upper airway remains open during sleep. This prevents airway obstruction, significantly reducing snoring and apnoeas. Comfortable and easy to use, OPTISLEEP is comfortable and easy to use, and provides a practical solution to improve sleep quality and overall health.
