Sleeping Appliances
Do you have trouble sleeping?
It might be related to your overall oral health. But there is a solution for that: sleeping appliances.
They are also known as oral appliances or mandibular advancement devices (MADs), are dental devices used in the treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring.
These appliances are designed to keep the airway open during sleep by repositioning the jaw and tongue or by stabilizing the soft tissues of the throat.
Sleeping appliances offer a non-invasive treatment option for sleep-related breathing disorders, particularly for patients who are unable to tolerate CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy or prefer a more comfortable alternative.
However, it's essential to consult with a qualified dental or sleep medicine professional to determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on individual needs and preferences.
