For people in Mckinney and Greenville, TX, suffering from daytime exhaustion and other indicators of sleep apnea, we want to offer relief. Not only that, but we want to tackle your sleep apnea and snoring without the need for a CPAP machine. In today’s blog, your team at Dental Sleep Solutions talks about how we treat sleep apnea without a CPAP machine using custom oral appliances and even laser technology!

Diagnosing Your Sleep Issues

When should you contact our team for possible treatment? If you suffer from nightly snoring, wake up in the night gasping for breath or struggling to breathe, or feel tired during the day even if you assume you slept well, let us know. With sleep apnea, soft tissue collapses while you sleep and cut off airflow, so you stop breathing multiple times a night, which interrupts your REM sleep. As this worsens, you could have memory issues, irritability, and difficulty focusing on tasks at work or school. But we can help, so reach out today for a diagnosis. We can offer a sleep assessment to look at risk factors, and then conduct a comfortable and convenient at-home sleep test to find out which treatments will be best for you.

Mandibular Advanced Device

For many, we could offer help with a mandibular advancement device, an oral appliance that looks and fits like a mouthguard, and which is worn while you sleep. The device is custom-fitted for you, and once in place, helps shift your jaw and tongue forward to prevent the collapse of soft tissues in the night. You breathe without interruption and feel more rested and alert the next day. The appliance is easy to use and clean, and when you head out on vacation, it can come with you. This is a quiet and simple alternative to the CPAP machine.

QuietNite Laser Technology

For some, we could also offer help with a dental laser. The QuietNite system involves using laser technology to shrink portions of soft tissues that collapse and cut off airflow. This prevents the cessation of breathing, so you rest without completion. The process takes one visit, rarely requires anesthesia, and the results are immediate. Since we use lasers, the treated area heals quickly. If you have any questions about how we help treat sleep apnea with a custom oral appliance or even the use of advanced laser technology, then reach out to our team today to learn more and get started.
