Sleep Apnea
An oral appliance worn at night can help keep your airway open while you sleep. We make custom appliances for patients who have had a sleep study and a diagnosis from their physician.
These can be signs of sleep apnea. A sleep study is the way to know for sure.
Overview
It starts with a diagnosis. Sleep apnea is a medical condition, so you'll need a sleep study and a physician's diagnosis first. Once you have that, our doctors can make an oral appliance fitted to your mouth. It's worn while you sleep and holds your lower jaw slightly forward to help keep your airway open. If you snore loudly, wake up tired or have been told you stop breathing in your sleep, talk to your physician about a sleep study, and let us know at your next visit.
The process
Your physician orders a sleep study and diagnoses sleep apnea. Let us know your results.
We examine your teeth, gums and jaw, and your appliance is made to fit your mouth.
We adjust the appliance for comfort and fit. Your physician may recommend a follow-up sleep study to check how well it's working.
