Sleep Apnea Treatment
What’s Sleep Apnea Treatment?
Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders in the world. It is marked by loud snoring and an inability to breathe fully while asleep. Obstructive sleep apnea can affect virtually every part of your waking life because it prevents you from getting a complete night of rest. We offer sleep apnea treatment that uses a special oral device to open up your airway while you sleep.
Why is Sleep Apnea Treatment needed?
If left untreated, sleep apnea can become dangerous and have an effect on the quality of your life. Unfortunately, many people with sleep apnea don’t undergo treatment because they are unaware that there are other options available to them aside from a large, bulky CPAP machine. Rather than use this device, we’ll suggest wearing a simple oral appliance that is worn like a mouth guard. It helps to open the upper airway so that you can breathe easier.
Who’s a candidate for Sleep Apnea Treatment?
Any patient with mild to moderate sleep apnea can and should benefit from this dental treatment. The appliance has to be worn each night in order for the treatment to be effective. We will custom make the device for you so that it’s comfortable to wear. We can conduct an examination to determine if you’d benefit from this treatment.
What can you expect with Sleep Apnea Treatment?
We begin the process by taking impressions of your mouth. We use these impressions to create a personalized oral device. This device works by opening the airway to allow patients to breathe easier throughout the night. It is effective at treating sleep apnea symptoms. You will need to wear this device every night and should replace it as it begins to show signs of wear. This particular device is easier and more comfortable for patients to wear when compared to a large CPAP machine.
