What Is Sleep Apnoea & Snoring?
Sleep apnoea (also spelled sleep apnea) is a common sleep disorder characterised by repeated airway blockages during sleep, often causing loud snoring, daytime tiredness, headaches, and poor concentration
Left untreated, it increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and mood disorders.
Oral Appliance Therapy vs CPAP
For many patients, especially those finding CPAP masks uncomfortable, we offer SomnoMed oral appliances. These devices reposition the lower jaw and tongue forward to open the airway and reduce snoring in both Ettalong and Kincumber clinics.
TMJ (Jaw) Dysfunction: Relief at Home
Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, or earaches may signal TMJ dysfunction. We provide custom occlusal splints to relax jaw muscles and protect your joint, whether you're in Ettalong or Kincumber.
The Sleep–TMJ Connection
Research shows a strong relationship between TMJ disorders and sleep apnoea: jaw misalignment can narrow the airway, worsening snoring and nighttime breathing disruptions.
Our integrated approach ensures both conditions are managed effectively.
