Dental sleep appliances are custom-made devices designed to help improve sleep quality by addressing sleep disorders, most commonly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. Here’s how they work and why they might be right for you:

How Do Dental Sleep Appliances Work?

  1. Custom Fit: We create a personalized appliance using impressions or digital scans of your teeth. This ensures a comfortable fit and maximum effectiveness.
  2. Airway Management: The appliance gently repositions your lower jaw or tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep. This helps prevent the blockages that cause snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
  3. Improved Breathing: By maintaining an open airway, dental sleep appliances reduce or eliminate the interruptions in breathing that can disrupt your sleep.

Benefits of Dental Sleep Appliances:

  • Non-Invasive: Unlike CPAP machines, dental sleep appliances are non-invasive and require no masks or hoses.
  • Comfortable: Designed to fit snugly in your mouth, they are often more comfortable than traditional treatments for sleep apnea.
  • Portable: Easy to transport, making them ideal for travel and use anywhere.
  • Effective: Proven to be effective for many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring.

Who Can Benefit?

  • Individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Especially those who have mild to moderate cases or who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.
  • People Who Snore: Chronic snoring that affects your sleep or your partner’s can often be alleviated with these appliances.
  • Travelers: Those who need a convenient and portable solution for managing their sleep issues.
