Different concerns. A considered approach.
Grinding and clenching
A custom night guard may help protect teeth from grinding damage. We assess tooth wear, comfort and fit; a guard does not necessarily stop the grinding itself.
Snoring
Snoring has several possible causes. We discuss your symptoms and dental suitability; medical assessment may be needed before considering an oral appliance.
Suspected sleep apnoea
Breathing pauses, gasping or marked daytime tiredness need medical assessment. A dental examination cannot diagnose or exclude sleep apnoea.
Your visit, step by step
Swipe through the journey, from sharing your concerns to ongoing review.
Tell us what you notice
Share jaw discomfort, tooth wear, snoring and any breathing pauses noticed by your partner. Bring your medicine list, sleep reports and any appliance you use.
Assessment before an appliance
We examine your teeth, gums, bite and jaw function. We explain whether medical or sleep-specialist assessment is the next step.
Agree a personal plan
If an appliance is suitable, we explain its purpose, limitations, fitting process and fees. The choice follows your dental needs and any sleep diagnosis.
Fit, adapt and review
We check the appliance, explain wear and cleaning, and arrange appropriate reviews. Tell us about discomfort or changes to your bite.
Night guard or sleep appliance?
They serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable.
A night guard for tooth protection
A guard or splint fits over teeth to help protect them from damage linked to grinding or clenching. Your dentist selects the design and checks the fit.
A mandibular advancement appliance
This appliance brings the lower jaw forward during sleep. It may help selected patients with snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea within a properly assessed treatment plan.
Do not stop prescribed CPAP or replace sleep-apnoea treatment with a standard night guard. Discuss changes with your treating clinician.
When to seek medical advice
Arrange medical assessment if breathing stops and starts during sleep, you wake gasping or choking, or you are persistently very sleepy during the day. Avoid driving when sleepy.
Bring your existing care plan
Tell us about your sleep diagnosis, CPAP, previous sleep tests and any appliance. We discuss dental care alongside your medical plan; sleep testing and medical treatment require the appropriate service.
Questions about nights and night guards
Will a night guard cure grinding?
It can help protect teeth but does not necessarily stop grinding. Your dentist can discuss contributing factors and an individual management plan.
Does snoring always mean sleep apnoea?
No. Snoring can occur without sleep apnoea, but breathing pauses, gasping and daytime sleepiness need medical assessment.
Can everyone use a mandibular advancement appliance?
No. Suitability depends on the sleep assessment, dental and gum health, jaw function and treatment plan. We explain whether further assessment is needed.
What if my appliance feels uncomfortable?
Contact us for a fit review if there is pain, rubbing or a change in your bite. Do not heat, trim or adjust it yourself.
Can I use my sports guard at night instead?
Do not substitute a sports guard for a prescribed night guard or sleep appliance. Their purposes and designs differ.
My child snores or grinds their teeth. What should I do?
Tell your child’s dentist about grinding. Persistent snoring, breathing pauses or disturbed sleep should also be discussed with their doctor; adult appliances are not a self-treatment for children.
Looking after your appliance

Follow the cleaning instructions supplied for your appliance. Clean your teeth before wearing it.

Keep reviews
Bring it to dental reviews. Report damage, poor fit or new jaw symptoms.
Know your care. Plan your visit.
