Sleep Appliance

A sleep appliance is a custom-made oral device designed to manage snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. Worn comfortably during sleep, it gently repositions the lower jaw to keep the airway open, supporting better breathing throughout the night. At Weston Dentistry, sleep appliances are tailored for comfort and effectiveness, helping you wake feeling more rested and energised.

Why Sleep Appliance Therapy Is Important

Disrupted breathing during sleep can affect more than just rest; it can impact health, energy, and overall quality of life. A customised sleep appliance helps:

Improve Airflow

Gently adjusts jaw position to keep the airway open during sleep.

Reduce Snoring

Minimises vibration of soft tissues to decrease disruptive snoring.

Support Sleep Apnoea Management

Promotes deeper, more restorative sleep.

Enhance Sleep Quality

Quality rest can reduce fatigue, headaches, and daytime drowsiness.

For suitable patients, a sleep appliance offers a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to bulky machines.

What to Expect During the Process

Rest Better, Live Better

Sleep is essential for overall health. A custom sleep appliance offers a practical, comfortable solution to improve nighttime breathing, helping you wake refreshed and ready for the day.

Keep it in a ventilated case when not in use.

Avoid Heat Exposure

Friendly, caring service and professional work. Went here after being told elsewhere that fixing my teeth would only cost, ‘The price of a small car.’ Weston Dentistry fixed my dental issues at an affordable, realistic price
