Many people, or most often family members, complain of snoring. Patients who say they are always tired, have poor memories, headaches, irritability, anxiety or depression can be suffering from sleep apnoea a medical condition that causes severe breathing interruptions during sleep.

This is a potentially life threatening illness which needs to be treated. At Manly Dental we work with Sleep Physicians to treat these sleep disorders.

Oral appliances can be made and these are worn during sleep. They can bring the jaw forward, lift up the soft palate and hold the tongue forward thus keeping the airways open. At Manly Dental Care we aim to ensure your teeth are in great shape and will also assess any issues arising from gum, jaw or occlusal  (bite) problems.
