Sleep apnoea treatment usually involves multiple facets – of which CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is the most well-known. Although CPAP is the gold standard in effectiveness, it also has a reputation for being difficult to tolerate. In fact, it is not uncommon for our patients to tell us that they know they should be using the CPAP but continue to put it off.
Hence why our team has invested the time and expense in training to offer an alternative solution – the Mandibular Advancement Splint, or MAS for short. Whilst it is an effective and more comfortable solution, it is vital to assess your situation thoroughly as every case is different.
If you are wondering whether you would be a suitable candidate – contact us at Soothe Dental Goulburn, and our team will guide you through the process.

Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder characterise by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, known as apnoeic events, can last from a few seconds to a minute and may occur numerous times throughout the night. This condition often leads to poor sleep quality, excessive daytime fatigue, and can increase the risk of serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.
At Soothe Dental Goulburn, we offer mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea treatment to help manage and mitigate these risks. Our team uses screening techniques to assess your condition and provide personalised treatment plans to improve your overall health and well-being.
Several treatments are available for sleep apnoea, ranging from lifestyle changes and oral appliances to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy and surgery. Lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and quitting smoking, can be beneficial. Oral appliances, like mandibular advancement splints, reposition the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep.
At Soothe Dental Goulburn, we specialise in providing custom-fitted mandibular advancement splints. These devices are comfortable and effective in reducing apnoeic events and improving sleep quality. Our team will work with you to determine the best treatment approach for your condition.
Mandibular advancement splints are oral devices designed to treat sleep apnoea by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue forward, which helps to keep the airway open during sleep. This prevents the collapse of soft tissues that can obstruct breathing, reducing the frequency and severity of apnoeic events.
Here at Soothe Dental Goulburn, we provide custom-fitted mandibular advancement splints tailored to your unique dental structure. These splints are designed for comfort and effectiveness, ensuring you receive optimal treatment for your sleep apnoea.
While mandibular advancement splints are generally safe and effective, some patients may experience side effects such as jaw discomfort, tooth movement, or excessive salivation. These side effects are usually mild and diminish as you adjust to wearing the device.
Our team will provide thorough instructions on how to use and care for your splint, and we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns. Our goal is to ensure your treatment is as comfortable and effective as possible.
Yes, sleep apnoea can significantly affect your partner’s sleep, especially if you snore loudly or frequently wake up at night. This can lead to disturbed sleep patterns and poor sleep quality for you and your partner.
At Soothe Dental Goulburn, our effective sleep apnoea treatment can help reduce snoring and improve sleep quality for you and your partner. By addressing the root cause of your sleep disturbances, we aim to create a more restful environment for everyone.
While sleep apnoea can often be effectively managed, it is generally considered a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment and monitoring. Lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, can sometimes lead to significant improvements and, in some cases, may reduce the severity of sleep apnoea to a point where treatment is no longer necessary.
