Sleep Apnea Treatment Brisbane

Sleep apnea oral appliances work by moving the jaw forward, which moves the tongue forward, increases the size of the upper airway, thus reducing the air resistance that leads to sleep apnea and snoring. A custom fitted oral appliance has a higher rate of success in treating OSA than similar devices that can be acquired from a pharmacy.

Dr Basil has attended many courses by leaders in the field including Dr Steve Olmos, Dr Derek Mahoney, Dr Anne Marie Cole and Dr Harry Ball. He has personal experience in this field as he has been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea and had nasal surgery to enhance his breathing.

Nasal breathing is a very important component in sleep apnea and Dr Basil will assess this and recommend appropriate X rays and referrals to ENT specialists for assessments prior to any device being made.
