Snoring & Sleep Apnea
A number of appliances and treatments exist today to treat snoring and sleep apnea disorders. The graphic demonstrates how the airway increases with a forward-positioned mandible, thereby decreasing the vibrations of soft tissue, which cause snoring and also increasing the pathway for oxygen.
Some dental offices provide dental appliances that can help maintain this optimal position comfortably without surgery! Sleep apnea is a serious health condition for many people, and our office will work with you and your physician to address your concerns. If you feel you could benefit from this treatment, please contact your dentist for a consultation or for more information on local area sleep clinics.
