AIRWAY, SNORING & SLEEP APNOEA CANBERRA

  Respiratory & Myofunctional Centre

  Symmetry Dental is one of only a few dental practices Australia-wide to have a dedicated, in-house breathing and orofacial myology training program. Our Respiratory & Myofunctional Centre aims to enhance the functional growth processes of the face and jaw and is an integral element in all orthopaedic, orthodontic, sleep and pain-management treatment at Symmetry Dental. With new research cementing the link between ideal respiratory & myofunctional habits and growth, development and stabilisation of the craniofacial system, it is becoming more apparent that there is a need for retraining of aberrant breathing and swallowing habits to assist patients in development when young; and in long-term retention of results from treatment performed when older. The link between airway compromise (from inadequate or inappropriate craniofacial development) and sleep/life quality is at the forefront of our treatment philosophy – and the Symmetry Dental Respiratory & Myofunctional Centre helps to make this philosophy a reality!

  Embarking upon a program to retrain and enhance your breathing can have a remarkably beneficial effect upon your performance, stamina and enjoyment of sport and exercise at any level – from weekend warrior to elite athlete.

  Having difficulty with CPAP compliance?

  Retraining your breathing system to be more efficient may help to make your life-saving sleep mask easier to wear. Snoring? Better breathing means less snoring – and what do you have to lose?

  Breathing is essential for life – so why not do it well?

  Sleep Aponea Screening

  From the comfort of your own home

  As an extension of our in-house Respiratory and Myofunctional Centre, Symmetry Dental are pleased to provide the ability for our patients to undertake a take-home 12-channel Medibyte Sleep Study device. We are able to perform preliminary and screening tests for Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB), in conjunction with associative daytime respiratory assessments, to develop a broad analysis and understanding of the quality and efficiency of your sleep. Symmetry Dental liaises with local and interstate Sleep Medicine experts to score, analyse and diagnose on the basis of in-house testing methodologies.

  In addition to screening for SDB, Symmetry practitioners are experts in the appropriate use of Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) for snoring and other airway-related sleep disorders. Our devices are custom designed and built to your unique jaw, grinding pattern and body-type. Symmetry Dental is able to thus provide an astoundingly high level of individualised MAD treatment with an outstanding success rate.

  All take-home Sleep Study Screening Tests include follow-up appointments for scoring and explanation of results; respiratory and myofunctional assessment; and assistance in optimising lifestyle factors related to your sleep and overall wellbeing.
