Snore and Sleep Apnoea
Modern dentistry cannot ignore the growing knowledge and concerns of Sleep Medicine which has a significant association with dental health and general health.
Undiagnosed sleep associated pathologies, inadequate treatment and prevention creates an astronomical burden to health care systems and productivity around the world.
NightLase© by LightWalker® can assist dentists with improvement in airways obstruction and reducing the severity of sleep apnoea. Combined with other treatment modalities, NightLase© in many instances can successfully treat sleep apnoea.
What is NightLase®
A gentle yet efficient patented Er:YAG laser deliver just enough heat to induce collagen tightening of the intra-oral soft tissues that obstruct the airflows and open up the airways. It is a great treatment modality for those who snore but do not have sleep apnoea or those who have sleep apnoea but cannot tolerate the CPAP machines and/or the oral appliances.
Assessment for suitability of NightLase© include: Intra-oral examination, questionnaire, sleep screen/study, medical or dental imaging of the airways.
The course of treatment often requires four applications within ten weeks. Annual top-up treatment is necessary to maintain results.
