Snore Guards

Snoring is often thought of as normal or “just part of getting older,” but it can sometimes be a sign of something more serious, such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Snoring doesn’t just affect your sleep, it can impact your partner’s rest, relationships, and overall health.

Studies suggest that around 40% of Australian adults experience snoring, which highlights the importance of getting it checked. If you or your partner notice snoring, it’s a good idea to talk with a health professional to rule out sleep apnoea or other related conditions.

At Morphett Vale Dental Care, we can discuss treatment options for snoring, including oral appliance therapy. These custom-made appliances, sometimes called snore guards, are designed to gently move the lower jaw forward, helping to keep the airway open while you sleep. This can reduce or even stop snoring for some people.

Your dentist can work closely with you, and when needed, collaborate with your sleep physician to determine whether an oral appliance is suitable for your situation.

Unlike over-the-counter devices, a custom snore guard is made specifically for your mouth. This helps with comfort, effectiveness, and long-term use.

If snoring is affecting you or someone you love, booking a consultation is the best way to explore your options. Together, we can look at whether a dental appliance may help, and ensure any necessary testing or referrals are arranged.
