Dentists can help to diagnose and treat sleeping disorders in several ways:
- Identifying the cause of your snoring: They'll examine your mouth, jaw, and airway to pinpoint potential factors contributing to your snoring.
- Oral appliances: Dentists can design custom-made oral appliances that gently open your airway during sleep, reducing or eliminating snoring.
- Sleep apnoea diagnosis and treatment: If they suspect sleep apnoea, dentists can offer in-house diagnosis options, like sleep studies, and recommend appropriate treatments, which may include oral appliances as well as other options.
