Are you seeking a comfortable and effective alternative to traditional CPAP therapy for sleep apnea? Oral appliance therapy may be the solution you've been looking for. At Associates For Dental Sleep Medicine, we specialize in oral appliance therapy—a non-invasive treatment option designed to keep your airway open and improve your sleep quality without the need for a bulky CPAP machine.
Understanding Oral Appliance Therapy:
Oral appliance therapy involves the use of custom-fit oral appliances, similar to mouthguards or retainers, to reposition the jaw and tongue during sleep. By gently shifting the lower jaw forward, these devices help prevent the collapse of the airway and promote unobstructed breathing throughout the night. Oral appliances are comfortable, easy to wear, and convenient for travel, making them a popular choice among patients with sleep apnea and snoring.
Customized Fit: Our experienced dental professionals will take precise impressions of your teeth and jaw to create a custom-fit oral appliance tailored to your unique oral anatomy.
Jaw Repositioning: The oral appliance is designed to gently advance the lower jaw forward, opening up the airway and preventing the soft tissues of the throat from collapsing during sleep.
Comfortable Wear: Unlike CPAP masks, which can be bulky and restrictive, oral appliances are small, discreet, and comfortable to wear. Many patients find them easier to tolerate and more conducive to a restful night's sleep.
Adjustable Design: Oral appliances can be adjusted to optimize their effectiveness and ensure maximum comfort. Our team will work closely with you to fine-tune the fit and positioning of your appliance for optimal results.
Effective Treatment: Oral appliance therapy has been shown to effectively reduce snoring and alleviate symptoms of mild to moderate sleep apnea, improving sleep quality and overall health outcomes.
Comfort and Convenience: Oral appliances are comfortable to wear and easy to care for, making them an attractive option for patients who struggle with CPAP therapy or prefer a more discreet treatment approach.
Portable and Travel-Friendly: Oral appliances are compact and portable, making them ideal for travel or overnight stays away from home. You can enjoy uninterrupted sleep wherever life takes you.
Non-Invasive and Reversible: Unlike surgical interventions or invasive procedures, oral appliance therapy is non-invasive and reversible, with minimal risk of complications or side effects.
