Orthoapnea

At Aurum Dental, OrthoApnea oral appliance therapy is designed for appropriately assessed patients affected by snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea. The custom appliance is designed to position the lower jaw during sleep in a way that can help support the airway and improve breathing in suitable patients.

Your treatment begins with an assessment of your oral health, bite and relevant sleep diagnosis. Records are then taken to create your custom appliance. Following fitting, we review your comfort and make adjustments where clinically appropriate.

Treatment costs depend on the appliance, assessment process and required follow-up. Your personalised fees are explained before treatment begins.

Potential effects can include temporary jaw discomfort, changes in bite or tooth movement. Alternatives may include CPAP, other oral appliances or other treatments recommended by your sleep clinician.

FAQs:

Can OrthoApnea treat snoring? It may be appropriate for certain patients following assessment.

Is it suitable for severe sleep apnoea? Suitability depends on your diagnosis and wider clinical management.

Will I need ongoing monitoring? Follow-up is important to assess comfort and response.
