Have you been told that your breathing is interrupted during
sleep? Do you snore loudly or fall asleep during the day?
You may be aware you have sleep apnea and already use the
CPAP device to alleviate your breathing problem. This device
pumps air into a patient’s lungs through a mask they wear
that fits over the nose and mouth. Many people find wearing
the bulky mask each night very uncomfortable, so they stop
using it. We are pleased to be able to offer our patients a new option with an oral appliance. It is a small acrylic device that fits over upper and lower teeth. It gently realigns both the jaw and tongue to allow air to flow into the lungs while you sleep. It is easy to insert, remove, and clean, and it is easy to transport during travel. There is a 90% success rate with users, so please give us a call if you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
