Sleep Apnoea Treatment
What is sleep apnoea treatment?
Sleep apnoea occurs when your airway partially collapses during sleep, leading to interrupted breathing and often, heavy snoring. At Melbourne Dental Studio, we provide a comfortable, mask-free alternative to bulky CPAP machines: the Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS). This custom oral appliance for sleep apnoea gently holds your lower jaw forward to keep your airway open.
As a leading dentist for snoring treatment and sleep apnoea, we always look at the bigger picture. We recognise that issues like Bruxism/Teeth Grinding can be linked to sleep disorders. By addressing potential root causes with a custom treatment for sleep disorder symptoms, we help you achieve a quieter, safer, and more restorative night’s sleep.
Key benefits of an oral
appliance for sleep apnoea

- Provides a clinically-recommended snoring treatment Melbourne residents can use to improve both their health and their partner’s sleep.
- Utilises a slim, custom-fitted design that allows you to speak and drink water while wearing it.
- Features a small, travel-friendly design that makes it easy to maintain your sleep routine even when you’re away from home.
Why choose Melbourne Dental Studio for sleep apnoea treatment
At Melbourne Dental Studio, we know that a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t cut it when it comes to sleep. Many patients are diagnosed with sleep apnoea but struggle to use a CPAP machine consistently because it feels restrictive or loud. We provide a more sustainable alternative, with some of the best sleep apnoea oral appliances Melbourne has to offer.
Whether you’re a professional who needs to be “on” for early meetings or simply miss having a full night’s energy, we prioritise your comfort. We use advanced intraoral scanning to create a digital mould of your teeth to create a custom dental device for sleep apnoea. We’ve replaced the traditional, high-pressure clinical model with a boutique environment where we actually take the time to listen to your concerns.

Aftercare & maintenance
for sleep apnoea treatment
To keep your dental device for sleep apnoea in top condition, simply clean it daily with a soft brush, warm water and mild soap. Avoid toothpaste as it is abrasive and can damage the MAS.
Regular dental checkup & cleaning is important to check the fit of your device and monitor your jaw health. We also offer Children’s Dentistry so you can take care of the whole family under one roof.
Frequently asked questions
about sleep dentistry
-
Snoring is the sound of vibrating tissues, whereas sleep apnoea is a medical condition where your breathing actually stops and starts throughout the night. While snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnoea, not everyone who snores has sleep apnoea.
-
Yes, dentists offering sleep apnoea services (not to be confused with sleep dentistry) can provide custom-made oral appliances that are popular for mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnoea.
-
It is a medical-grade, custom-fitted device (Mandibular Advancement Splint — MAS) that you wear only while sleeping. It is designed to be far more comfortable and travel-friendly than CPAP machines.
-
While a general mouth guard from a dentist is great for reducing pressure and protecting your smile from injury, it isn’t designed to treat a medical breathing condition. Instead, you need a Mandibular Advancement Splint that specifically repositions your jaw to keep the airway open. This medical-grade oral appliance for sleep apnoea ensures your breathing remains stable all night, something a general protective guard simply cannot do.
-
A snoring mouthguard typically acts as a mouth shield, preventing the soft tissues at the back of your mouth from vibrating — the main cause of what’s known as “mouth snoring.” While this is great for a quieter night, it works differently than a sleep apnoea device, which physically repositions your jaw to keep the airway open. Note that while both can help with snoring, a basic snoring mouthguard doesn’t provide the same level of airway support as a specialised sleep apnoea oral appliance.
-
Most adults with mild to moderate sleep apnoea are excellent candidates for an oral appliance. A consultation at our clinic will help confirm your suitability.
