Occlusal Splints & Snoring Devices
A poor night’s sleep affects far more than how you feel the next morning. Whether it’s the grinding of teeth, a sore jaw, or disrupted sleep from snoring, these are treatable conditions, and the right device makes all the difference.
At The Avenues Family Dental, we partner with 3D Sleep Lab – Melbourne’s specialist provider of dental sleep devices to offer two custom-fitted treatments for common sleep-related concerns. Whether you’re grinding your teeth or disrupting sleep with snoring, both conditions are treatable with a device made precisely to your jaw and bite.
Bite splints for teeth grinding
Teeth grinding (bruxism) often happens during sleep without you even knowing. Over time it causes worn enamel, cracked teeth, jaw pain, and persistent headaches. A custom bite splint sits over your teeth and absorbs the forces of grinding before they cause damage – protecting both your teeth and your jaw joint while you sleep.
Snoring devices for disrupted sleep
Snoring occurs when the airway partially narrows during sleep. A custom mandibular advancement device (MAD) gently holds the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open, reducing or eliminating snoring without the bulk of a CPAP machine. It’s a simple, comfortable, non-invasive solution worn overnight.
