Sleep apnoea occurs when the individual stops breathing for ten seconds or more. It can be further classified into obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) and or central sleep apnoea (CSA). OSA and UARS is most common. It is caused when the airway is obstructed or collapsed. Our comprehensive sleep studies are reportable by a sleep physician and sleep scientist. To tailor and customise your optimal treatment plan
Diagnosing Sleep Disorders
There are various sleep disorders that can disrupt your sleep patterns and affect your overall health. From snoring to more serious conditions like sleep apnoea, these disorders can impact not only your sleep quality but also your daily functioning and health.
Snoring
Snoring is often a sign of obstructed airways during sleep, causing vibrations in the respiratory tract. While commonly dismissed, persistent snoring can indicate underlying sleep apnoea or other sleep-related issues that require attention.
Sleep Apnoea
Sleep apnoea is characterised by pauses in breathing during sleep, lasting for three seconds or more. It can be obstructive (OSA) or central (CSA), affecting how your body receives oxygen and disrupting your sleep cycle. Symptoms include daytime fatigue, headaches, and difficulty concentrating, among others.
Although snoring and sleep apnoea often go hand in hand, some people may suffer from one but not the other.

Why are our sleep studies different to others?
1. Our training involves diagnosing sleep bruxism.
Jaw movement and tooth grinding (bruxism) can damage sleep quality. Morning headaches and worn and cracked teeth are common warning signs. We collect extra data in our sleep studies that others do not so that you can learn more about your grinding at night. The information gathered and scored allows for insights, even if lab-based testing cannot match.
2. Comprehensive Diagnostics: the holistic approach.
Our diagnostics include an AER sleep study, X-rays for airway analysis, growth and development analysis of the Jaws, and soft tissue examination of the oral cavity.
