Obstructive sleep apnea is a medical condition, and a dental solution for sleep apnea is prescribed by medical doctors due to the effectiveness in treating the disease. When a doctor confirms a suitable treatment for this condition, patients are amazed at how this treatment works and how it can change their life.
The dental device used in treating sleep apnea looks like a sport's mouthpiece. They are custom-fit in the mouth and works by slightly pressing the lower jaw and tongue forward preventing the throat muscles from collapsing into the airways. This enables the patient to have normal breathing during sleep. They are adjustable and will conveniently position the jaw for greater comfort and effectiveness. The device will spare you from the discomforts of CPAP masks which can disrupt the sleep of your partner. With this treatment option patients will never have to suffer from the inconvenience of other treatment options.
In order to find out if this is the right solution for sleep apnea, speak with your doctors or dentist for an assessment on the severity of your case. Mild and moderate sleep apnea cases respond effectively to this treatment. Contact Oyster Point Dentistry to find out more about this alternative treatment for sleep apnea.
