Loud snoring, gasping at night and waking up tired can be signs of obstructive sleep apnea. Our dentists screen your airway and offer comfortable oral appliance therapy, working together with your doctor.
During sleep, the muscles of the throat relax. In obstructive sleep apnea, the airway narrows or closes again and again through the night, briefly interrupting your breathing and your sleep.
Because it happens while you are asleep, a partner often notices it first. Your dentist can also spot signs, such as grinding or a narrow airway, during a routine exam.
Poor sleep affects much more than how rested you feel.
Repeated breathing pauses keep you from deep, restful sleep.
When the lower jaw and tongue fall back, they can narrow the airway.
Grinding and clenching are common in people with a restricted airway.
Untreated sleep apnea affects energy, mood and long-term health.
Diagnosis comes from a sleep study. We work with your doctor at every step.
We look for signs of airway concerns as part of your dental exam.
We coordinate with your physician or a sleep clinic for a diagnosis.
For suitable patients, a custom appliance holds the jaw forward to keep the airway open.
We check comfort and fit and stay in touch with your doctor about your results.
Care is planned around your diagnosis and your comfort.
