Sleep Appliances/ Breathing Issues

Do you have real trouble sleeping?

Do you wake up grumpy because of interrupted sleep?

As part of the total body well-being approach to our treatments at DesignDentistry Dr Maratos’ advanced education from the LVI has enabled the practice to offer a comprehensive assessment and treatment in issues such as snoring and other sleep breathing disorders.

With a huge number of people suffering from the associated effects of snoring and sleep apnoea, and a minority of practitioners being able to provide the level of expertise necessary to treat the issues, DesignDentistry can provide an effective solution to the problem.

Exhaustion, anxiety and tension can all occur in people that have trouble sleeping. Do you know what is causing these issues? If you have sleep issues this can be treated after a diagnosis at DesignDentistry and a custom treatment plan can lead you to the first good night’s sleep in years.

While the restriction or collapse of the airway can be both disruptive and distressing for patients who endure the effects of breathing disruption during sleep, in some circumstances, sleep disorders can be treated by an oral splint (MAS), bite correction or oral surgery. At DesignDentistry we will identify the most appropriate path forward for you which will give you the best possible result.

If an oral splint is used, the results can be dramatic, simply by wearing it while you sleep. The MAS has a number of advantages:

• It is a dental device resembling a custom fitted mouth guard
• It is comfortable, easy to use, unobtrusive and worn only during sleep
• It has proven effective through extensive research and clinical trials
• It permits full range of mouth opening and closing
• It minimizes disruption to normal oral functions like speech, drinking and yawning

If you are having trouble sleeping and are looking for a solution, we at DesignDentistry have the tools at our disposal to help you.
