Sleep Apnea Treatment

Do You Find Yourself Falling Asleep on the Job?

Sleep apnea robs your body of the rest and oxygen it needs to flourish. If you or a loved one find yourself falling asleep during the day, snoring loudly, or coping with interrupted breathing during sleep, you may be afflicted with sleep apnea. The go-to treatment for sleep apnea has always been a CPAP device. A facial mask connects to a machine that pumps a continuous stream of air into your nose or mouth while you sleep. However, many people find this to be frustrating and stop using the device.

If you have sleep apnea and can’t tolerate your CPAP, modern dentistry has new treatment solutions in the form of oral appliances. These small acrylic devices work much like an orthodontic retainer or mouthguard, fitting over your upper and lower teeth. They properly align your tongue and jaw to open your airway and allow more air to flow into your lungs as you sleep. They are easy to install and remove, simple to clean, and convenient for travel. Over 90% of patients have reported satisfaction with these oral appliances and consider them a great alternative to their CPAP machine. If you snore or a physician has diagnosed you with sleep apnea, give us a call today.
