Find Relief with Comprehensive Sleep Apnea Treatment

Oral Appliance Therapy

Oral appliance therapy is simple, effective, and comfortable. To design an effective oral appliance that meets your needs, our experts, in collaboration with your sleep specialist, will carefully analyze the information obtained during your sleep study. Your dental sleep practitioner will then take impressions of your teeth to ensure a customized and precise fit. 

Oral appliance therapy is simple, effective, and comfortable. 

A custom fabricated oral appliance fits like a sports mouth guard or an orthodontic retainer. It supports the lower jaw in a forward position to help maintain an open upper airway during sleep. Research shows that oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment option for snoring and all levels of severity of obstructive sleep apnea. This can lead to a better quality of sleep and restore the level of alertness during wakeful hours. Oral appliance therapy is effective, non-invasive, easy to wear, and convenient to travel. The treatment fits easily into patients' everyday lifestyle.

Other Sleep Apnea Treatment Options

For some patients, the sleep physician may prescribe other suitable treatment options for their sleep apnea. 

Positive Airway Pressure

Positive airway pressure (PAP) works by pushing a continuous stream of air into the airway, which prevents the collapse of tissue. Most patients prefer to avoid this treatment method as it involves wearing a mask and can be cumbersome throughout the night.

Adenotonsillectomy

In the majority of pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea, swollen adenoids or tonsils, or a combination of the two, may be the cause or may contribute to their apnea. They often present with mouth breathing during sleep, lack of attention and agitation during wakeful hours, and often evidence of unusual upper and lower jaw narrowing. When this is the case, we often recommend a consultation with their pediatrician or ear, nose, and throat specialist. The appropriate treatment can dramatically improve symptoms in children.

Orthodontic Intervention

In some cases, misaligned teeth or a misaligned jaw can contribute to sleep apnea in children. By seeking orthodontic treatment, you may reduce your child’s symptoms of the condition.
