Think of your airway as a flexible tube that delivers oxygen to your lungs. During sleep, this pathway can narrow or become blocked as the muscles in your throat relax—like a garden hose being pinched.
When this happens:
Watch for these key signs:
• Disrupted Sleep: Snoring, restless sleep, or unusual sleeping positions
• Daytime Changes: Irritability, difficulty focusing, or ADHD-like behaviour
• Physical Signs: Regular mouth breathing or slower growth patterns
• Nighttime Issues: Unexplained bed-wetting or night terrors
Watch for these key signs:
• Sleep Disruption: Loud snoring or breathing pauses noticed by your partner
• Daytime Impact: Constant tiredness, foggy thinking, headaches
• Morning Signs: Waking with a dry mouth, sore throat, or feeling unrested
• Alertness Issues: Struggling to stay awake while driving or during daily activities
• Complete Care: Identifying sleep apnea helps us tailor your orthodontic treatment for the best results

If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, Mars Orthodontics offers effective treatment options to support better sleep and improved well-being.
Our removable, custom-fit devices gently position the lower jaw to help maintain an open airway during sleep. Comfortable and easy to use, these appliances are ideal for managing mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Following a sleep study with a respiratory sleep physician, we work closely with your specialist to integrate oral appliances into a personalised treatment plan that meets your needs.
Regular follow-ups allow us to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring your appliance works effectively to support restful sleep.
