If you’ve been considering a custom mandibular advancement splint for sleep apnoea (more commonly referred to as a “snoring mouth guard”), you’re probably wondering if it’s worth making such a significant investment. Can an over-the-counter mouth guard do the same thing? Our in-house sleep dentist, Dr Alex Wu, discusses the benefits of custom splints in this video. The long-term value is in sustainable comfort - the splint is designed in an extremely accurate slim profile for your exact mouth shape, reducing snoring and sleep apnoea without the associated discomfort of a clunky mouth guard. Auckland Sleep also provides ongoing support and adjustments to your device to ensure the fit remains as comfortable on Day 1 as Day 1000. If you’re curious to find out if a splint can make a real difference for your snoring and sleep apnoea, book in for an assessment today with Auckland Sleep.
