Sleep Apnoea Dental Appliance
Sleep Apnoea Dental Appliance in London
Restful Nights Begin with Better Breathing
If you or your partner regularly experience loud snoring, interrupted breathing, or restless sleep, you may be living with sleep apnoea — a common but often undiagnosed condition that can significantly affect your health and quality of life. At London Holistic Dental Centre on Wimpole Street, we offer a gentle and effective solution through custom-made sleep apnoea dental appliances designed to help you breathe freely and sleep deeply.
Understanding Sleep Apnoea
Sleep apnoea occurs when the airway repeatedly collapses or becomes obstructed during sleep, causing breathing to stop and start throughout the night. These pauses can last several seconds and may occur dozens of times an hour.
Common symptoms include:
- Loud or persistent snoring.
- Waking up gasping or choking.
- Morning headaches.
- Daytime fatigue or lack of concentration.
- Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking.

In some cases, Invisalign® may be combined with composite bonding or veneers to refine the final result, ensuring your smile looks as natural and harmonious as possible.
While mild cases can often be managed with lifestyle changes and dental appliances, moderate to severe sleep apnoea may require medical assessment or referral to a sleep specialist.
How Dental Appliances Help Sleep Apnoea
A sleep apnoea dental appliance, also known as a mandibular advancement device (MAD), is a custom-fitted mouthguard worn during sleep. It works by gently repositioning the lower jaw and tongue forward, keeping your airway open and reducing airway collapse.
These appliances are:
- Non-invasive and easy to wear.
- Removable and portable.
- Quiet and discreet, unlike CPAP machines.
- Tailored to your individual bite and comfort.
For many patients, this approach significantly reduces snoring and improves sleep quality — both for them and their partners.
Your Sleep Apnoea Assessment at London Holistic Dental Centre
Our care begins with a comprehensive sleep and dental assessment. During your visit, your dentist will:
- Discuss your symptoms, sleep patterns, and any medical history.
- Examine your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment.
- Assess airway space and potential causes of obstruction.
- Collaborate with your GP or sleep specialist if required for diagnostic sleep studies.
If a dental appliance is suitable, we’ll take precise 3D digital scans or impressions of your teeth to create a bespoke device that fits securely and comfortably.
Wearing and Caring for Your Appliance
Once your sleep apnoea appliance is fitted, you’ll be guided through how to wear and maintain it. Most patients adapt quickly, experiencing noticeable improvement within a few nights.
- Wearing: The appliance should be worn nightly. It’s lightweight and designed to allow normal mouth movement.
- Cleaning: Simply rinse and brush your device daily using a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
- Follow-ups: Regular check-ups help ensure your appliance continues to fit correctly and remains effective over time.
Our holistic approach means we not only focus on reducing your symptoms but also help you explore lifestyle factors — such as posture, nasal breathing, and stress — that may contribute to disrupted sleep.
