Sleep apnoea and snoring are breathing disorders that occur during sleep when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked. Sleep apnoea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night, often accompanied by loud snoring. This happens when the soft tissues at the back of the throat collapse and obstruct the airway. Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues, causing them to vibrate and create noise.
These conditions affect far more than just sleep quality. Sleep apnoea can lead to daytime fatigue, high blood pressure, heart problems, and difficulty concentrating. Partners often report disrupted sleep due to loud snoring and breathing interruptions. The condition is particularly common in people who are overweight, have large neck circumferences, or structural issues with their jaw and airway.
You should seek treatment if you experience loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, excessive daytime tiredness, morning headaches, or if your partner notices breathing pauses whilst you sleep. These symptoms indicate your body isn't getting enough oxygen during the night. Early intervention prevents serious health complications and dramatically improves quality of life.
At London Dental Specialists, Dr. Ope Sodeinde and our expert team provide effective oral appliance therapy for sleep apnoea and snoring. We create custom fitted devices that gently reposition your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open during sleep. This treatment offers a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines for many patients. Our Central London clinic serves the greater London area with personalised care that addresses your specific breathing patterns and jaw structure.

Sleep apnoea is a serious medical condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Regular snoring is simply the sound of air passing through relaxed throat tissues. With sleep apnoea, your airway becomes completely blocked, causing you to stop breathing for 10 seconds or more. Your brain then wakes you up to restart breathing. This can happen hundreds of times per night. You might not even remember waking up, but you'll feel exhausted the next day. Sleep apnoea affects your heart, blood pressure, and overall health in ways that simple snoring doesn't.
Your mouth and jaw position play a crucial role in keeping your airway open during sleep. We create custom oral appliances that gently move your lower jaw forward whilst you sleep. This repositions your tongue and soft tissues, preventing them from collapsing and blocking your airway. These devices are comfortable, portable, and much quieter than CPAP machines. Many patients find them easier to use consistently. We work closely with sleep specialists and your GP to ensure you receive comprehensive care. Our approach focuses on the dental and jaw-related causes of sleep breathing disorders.
Most patients adapt to their oral appliance within a few nights. We create each device specifically for your mouth using precise impressions and measurements. The appliance feels similar to wearing a thin sports guard. You might notice slight jaw tenderness for the first few days, but this typically resolves quickly. Many patients report sleeping better almost immediately because they're getting proper oxygen throughout the night. The device is much smaller and quieter than CPAP equipment. We'll adjust the fit during follow-up appointments to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Several warning signs indicate your snoring may be sleep apnoea requiring treatment. Your partner might notice you stop breathing during sleep or gasp for air. You wake up feeling tired despite spending enough time in bed. Daytime fatigue, morning headaches, and difficulty concentrating are common symptoms. High blood pressure, weight gain, and mood changes can also indicate sleep apnoea. Even without these symptoms, loud snoring that disrupts your household deserves attention. We can assess your risk factors and recommend appropriate testing. Early treatment prevents serious health complications and improves your quality of life significantly.
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we review your sleep study results and examine your mouth, jaw, and airway. We take detailed impressions of your teeth and measurements of your jaw position. Using this information, we design a custom appliance specifically for your anatomy. The fitting appointment involves trying on your new device and making any necessary adjustments for comfort and effectiveness. We'll teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your appliance. Follow-up appointments ensure the device is working properly and remains comfortable. Most patients receive their appliance within two to three weeks.
Oral appliances are highly effective for mild to moderate sleep apnoea and can be successful for some severe cases too. Studies show they reduce sleep apnoea events by 50% or more in most patients. Whilst CPAP machines may be slightly more effective in severe cases, oral appliances have much higher patient compliance rates. People actually use them consistently because they're comfortable and convenient. You can travel easily without worrying about electricity or noise. Many patients who couldn't tolerate CPAP find oral appliances life changing. We'll work with your sleep specialist to monitor your progress and ensure you're getting the best possible treatment outcomes.
Oral appliances are generally very safe with minimal side effects. Some patients experience temporary jaw soreness or tooth sensitivity when first starting treatment. These symptoms usually resolve within a week or two. Very rarely, patients notice slight changes in their bite, which we monitor carefully during follow-up visits. The appliance might increase saliva production initially, but this typically normalises quickly. Proper fitting and regular adjustments minimise any potential issues. The health risks of untreated sleep apnoea far outweigh the minor side effects of treatment. We'll discuss your specific situation and address any concerns during your consultation to ensure you feel completely comfortable with your treatment plan.
Whilst sleep apnea and snoring concerns typically develop gradually, certain situations may require urgent dental evaluation. Seek immediate care if you experience severe jaw pain, difficulty opening your mouth, or sudden changes in your bite that affect breathing during sleep. Emergency attention is warranted if you develop acute facial swelling, persistent headaches accompanied by breathing difficulties, or if existing oral appliances cause severe discomfort or injury to your mouth.
If you're experiencing breathing emergencies, contact emergency services immediately. For urgent dental-related sleep apnea concerns, London Dental Specialists provides emergency consultations when standard appointments aren't available.
