Starting Sleep Apnea Treatment
But do you have trouble sleeping at night? If you struggle with rest, feel exhausted during the day, and experience chronic snoring, this could potentially indicate the presence of sleep apnea. If so, talk to our team. We will talk to you about possible risk factors and symptoms, and look at your sleep habits. Our team could even conduct an at-home sleep test to better assess the severity of your disorder, so we know how to move forward and help you rest easier. For many, this is possible with an oral appliance, a device that will look and fit like a mouthguard, and that is worn as you rest at night.
Custom Oral Appliances
The appliance will look like a simple mouthguard, but it has been custom-fitted for your smile based on detailed digital images we take of your bite using an intraoral camera. This means a comfortable fit, and treatment with precision and accuracy. When worn as you rest, the device will actually shift your jaw and tongue forward, so you avoid the collapse of soft tissues and the cessation of breathing, which can happen hundreds of times each night for people with sleep apnea. This means you rest without interruption and wake up feeling more rested and refreshed. The device is easy to maintain and clean, and it can travel with you during the holiday season with ease.
If you have any questions about how our team will diagnose and treat issues like sleep apnea, then contact our office today to learn more. We want to help you feel more rested and alert during the day, and help you use your dental benefits before they expire at the end of the year!
