Sleep Apnea and Oral Appliance Therapy
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that is typically associated with snoring, although some types of sleep apnea do not involve snoring at all. Sleep apnea has the potential to be very serious and harmful for the person suffering from it, and you shouldn’t feel ashamed to speak up about your condition.
Treatment for Apnea
Once sleep apnea has been properly diagnosed, you may be prescribed a mouthguard to help prevent teeth grinding and open the airways wider. Our dentists will probably recommend a custom-made mouthguard, as it will fit your mouth comfortably, and should not disrupt your sleep pattern.
