Make It Easier to Get the Quality Sleep You Deserve

Obstructive sleep apnea happens when your airways close when you fall asleep. It’s a serious problem. People with this sleep disorder have a greater risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart failure, among other conditions.

For a long time, a CPAP machine was considered the primary option for treating this condition. Today, however, you have an alternative. Our doctors can help design an oral appliance that you wear while you sleep.

Many of our patients prefer this to a CPAP because the appliance is:

  • More Comfortable – An appliance is similar to the kind of custom-fitted mouthguard you wear for athletic activities. Many people find it better than trying to fall asleep while wearing a mask. Air is pushed into your mouth and nose via a mask when wearing a CPAP.
  • Less Intrusive – While wearing your mask, you have to listen to the sound of your CPAP machine. The mask and the machine are connected to a tube, which you need to manage in some way. A mouthguard doesn’t make noise, and it is easy to wear.
  • Easy to Transport – CPAP machines can be bulky, and they require electricity to work. This can make them difficult to bring with you on work trips or vacations. An oral appliance can fit in a protective case that you can carry in a coat pocket.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea
What is sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common type of sleep apnea, occurs when your air passages become temporarily blocked repeatedly while you sleep. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat relax to the point that your airway is restricted, causing you to quit breathing for a few seconds. This cycle can repeat itself dozens of times per hour in severe sleep apnea sufferers.

Why is sleep apnea bad?

Sleep apnea is harmful because it blocks your oxygen supply while you’re sleeping. This interferes with your sleep and leaves you feeling weak and tired the next day. However, sleep apnea has also been linked to serious health concerns like heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Treating sleep apnea can improve your quality of life as well as your life expectancy.

How is sleep apnea treated?

If you receive a sleep apnea diagnosis, our practice will take impressions and have a custom-fit sleep apnea appliance made for you to wear while sleeping. It will gently move your lower jaw forward to help keep your airway open. It can even reduce snoring. You’ll sleep better, feel better, and improve your overall health.
