Sleep Apnea Dentist

Do You Find Yourself Falling Asleep on the Job?

If you fall asleep during the day, snore loudly, or have interrupted breathing while you sleep, you may be suffering from a condition known as sleep apnea. The CPAP device is the usual remedy for this problem. It is a machine that provides a stream of air into a patient’s lungs through a mask that is worn over the nose and mouth. Although it alleviates the problem of interrupted breathing, the device is bulky and may be uncomfortable, so many patients stop wearing the mask.

If you have been using the CPAP device and can no longer tolerate it, we have an alternative device that is comfortable to wear, can easily be inserted or removed, and successfully alleviates mild to moderate sleep apnea in over 90% of those who use it. It is an oral appliance that is made out of acrylic, is similar to an orthodontic retainer, and fits over your upper and lower teeth. It gently realigns your tongue and jaw, allowing air to easily flow in and out of your lungs. If you would like to have a full night’s restful sleep again, please give us a call today.
