DENTAL APPLIANCES FOR SLEEP APNEA IN LOUISVILLE

Snoring Solutions At Advanced Dental Center In Louisville, KY

If Sleep Apnea or nighttime snoring is proving to be a problem, oral appliance therapy can be an effective treatment option. Anti-snoring and sleep apnea appliances fit similarly to mouth guards or orthodontic retainers and work by helping the jaw rest in a forward position that promotes an open airway. We’ll work with you to create a custom-fit oral sleep appliance designed to help you sleep better, restore your energy and facilitate better health.

Sleep Apnea is a common problem with more than 200,000 cases being diagnosed each year. At Advanced Dental, sleep apnea has become a major concern for us while we provide care to our patients. The most common problem with suffering from sleep apnea is the airway becomes narrow allowing minimal oxygen flow during sleep.

You are in good hands with Advanced Dental Center in Louisville. We can help you with sleep apnea by running a few test to determine the severity of your airway and breathing during sleep. Once we discover what is best for you, we will begin making a dental appliance to help reposition your mouth for a more open airway during sleep.

How Does An Oral Appliance Help Sleep Apnea

At Advanced Dental we will create an appliance that is custom made to fit your mouth. The design and feel of the appliance resembles a mouth guard. The appliance itself will position your oral cavity to maintain an open airway while you are sleeping. After you are fitted and walk out of the office with your new sleep apnea appliance, we still want to schedule follow-ups to make sure everything is working the way it should. It is important to note we cannot diagnose you with sleep apnea. You will need to visit your doctor first, then we will be available for help. If you have been diagnosed by a doctor, give Advanced Dental Center a call!
