Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep, often due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In OSA, throat muscles relax excessively, causing temporary airway blockages and reducing oxygen levels. This can lead to fatigue, high blood pressure, and even risks of heart disease if left untreated.
Signs of sleep apnea can include:
Sleep apnea impacts more than just your sleep; untreated, it can take a toll on overall health and well-being
Oral Appliance Therapy is a modern approach to managing obstructive sleep apnea comfortably. This treatment involves wearing a small, custom-fitted device that gently repositions the jaw to keep the airway open. Compact and convenient, it’s an ideal alternative for those who find CPAP machines uncomfortable. Unlike CPAP, an oral appliance is quiet, comfortable, and allows for natural movement during sleep.
Oral Appliance Therapy offers a straightforward, low-maintenance approach to sleep apnea. The device is custom-fitted to your mouth, gently positioning your jaw to keep your airway open as you sleep. Unlike CPAP machines, this appliance is completely silent and comfortable, fitting like a mouth guard without the need for bulky tubes or headgear.
Following an initial consultation to assess your needs, we’ll create an appliance tailored to maximize both comfort and effectiveness. Regular use of this simple device improves sleep quality and reduces health risks related to sleep apnea, such as high blood pressure, stroke, and heart complications.
Oral Appliance Therapy offers a simple way to manage sleep apnea and get the restful sleep you deserve. Schedule a consultation today.
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines are widely used for sleep apnea treatment, but many find them challenging due to noise, bulk, and maintenance needs. Dentistry of Arizona provides Oral Appliance Therapy as a more adaptable and user-friendly option. Here’s why it may be the right choice for you:
CPAP machines require a mask that can feel restrictive. Oral appliances are custom-fitted devices that sit comfortably in your mouth, allowing for unrestricted sleep.
Unlike CPAP machines, which generate a steady hum, an oral appliance is entirely silent, promoting peaceful sleep for both you and your partner.
Portable and easy to carry, oral appliances don’t require tubes or electricity, unlike CPAP machines that need additional equipment. This makes them perfect for those with an active or travel-heavy lifestyle.
CPAP requires regular cleaning and filter changes, while oral appliances need only basic cleaning, offering a hassle-free experience.
Studies show that patients often prefer Oral Appliance Therapy for its simplicity and comfort. Regular use can lead to reduced snoring, better sleep, and improved overall health.
Oral Appliance Therapy is an excellent choice for anyone who finds CPAP machines uncomfortable or difficult to tolerate. This custom-fitted device is small and discreet, fitting securely in your mouth like a night guard, with no need for tubes or headgear. It’s especially useful for those sensitive to CPAP noise, individuals with claustrophobia, or anyone seeking a quieter, less intrusive option.
This treatment doesn’t just help the patient with sleep apnea; it also benefits bed partners who appreciate quieter, more restful nights. With Oral Appliance Therapy, both you and your loved ones wake up feeling more refreshed and ready to take on the day.
Sleep peacefully with a solution that’s comfortable and easy to use. Connect with Dr. Ewell to get started.
Your journey to restful sleep starts with a consultation with Dr. Allen Ewell at Dentistry of Arizona. During this appointment, we’ll discuss your symptoms, review your medical history, and perform non-invasive assessments of your airway. We’ll also coordinate an at-home sleep study, covered by most medical insurance, to get an in-depth view of your sleep patterns.
To accurately diagnose your sleep apnea, we’ll provide an at-home sleep study. This convenient study takes place in your own bed, tracking sleep cycles and identifying areas of airway obstruction. These insights allow us to design an oral appliance that’s customized for your needs, ensuring a comfortable and effective solution.
Using data from your sleep study and precise impressions or digital scans of your mouth, we’ll create a personalized oral appliance. This device is crafted for both comfort and optimal airway support, helping you breathe easily and sleep soundly.
Once you receive your appliance, we’ll schedule follow-up visits to ensure it fits comfortably and effectively manages your sleep apnea symptoms. We’ll make adjustments as needed and monitor your progress to support long-term improvements in sleep and health.
Wake up refreshed every morning. Reach out to Dentistry of Arizona and start your journey to better sleep. Call us or book online today!
