Sleep Apnea Treatment

Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This can happen many times per night, disrupting your sleep cycle and preventing your body from getting the oxygen it needs. While loud snoring is a common symptom, sleep apnea can also cause:

• Daytime sleepiness and fatigue
• Difficulty concentrating
• Morning headaches
• Irritability and mood swings
• Heart disease
• Increased blood pressure

Let Us Help You Breathe Easier

You might be surprised to learn that we can play a role in treating your sleep apnea. While traditional treatment usually involves a CPAP machine, the majority of sleep apnea patients find it uncomfortable and disruptive. This is where our dental sleep appliances come in handy!

This non-invasive alternative uses a custom-made mouthpiece that gently holds your jaw in a slightly forward position while you sleep. This keeps your airway open and prevents sleep disruption.

• No surgery or needles are involved
• With consistent use, they can significantly reduce sleep apnea episodes
• It's discreet and easy to carry, making it perfect for travel
