At our office, we understand the struggles associated with sleep apnea and snoring disorders. We believe that everyone deserves a good night’s rest, which is why we offer oral appliance therapy as an effective treatment option. Oral appliance therapy is a noninvasive, comfortable and easy-to-use treatment for sleep apnea and snoring.
Here are some of the benefits of oral appliance therapy that we would like to share with you:
- Improves overall quality of life
- Reduces the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke
- Increases alertness and energy during the day
- Promotes a more restful and uninterrupted sleep
- Reduces the risk of accidents caused by daytime drowsiness
Your custom-made oral appliance is designed based on images of your airway and sinuses. Our team will create your appliance to fit your mouth perfectly, and it works by gently positioning your jaw in a slightly forward position while you sleep, expanding the airway. This helps to prevent the soft tissues at the back of your throat from collapsing and obstructing your airway, allowing you to breathe more easily and sleep soundly. Over time, this gentle positioning can guide your jaw to a healthier position.
We believe that everyone deserves a good night’s sleep, and that is why we offer oral appliance therapy as a noninvasive and effective treatment option. If you are struggling with sleep apnea or snoring, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with us to discuss how oral appliance therapy and oral expansion can help you. Do not let sleep apnea disrupt your life any longer — contact our office today and take the first step towards a better night’s sleep.
