Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when your breathing is interrupted during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type and is caused by a blockage of the airway, often when the soft tissue at the back of the throat collapses. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to significant health problems, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Our custom Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea are designed to keep your airway open during sleep by gently shifting your lower jaw forward. This helps prevent airway blockage and reduces snoring and sleep disruptions. Oral appliances are a comfortable and convenient alternative to CPAP machines for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or those who struggle with CPAP compliance.

Benefits of Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances:

  • Non-invasive and easy to wear
  • Portable and travel-friendly
  • No hoses, masks, or loud machines
  • Improve sleep quality and reduce health risks

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a condition where patients unconsciously grind or clench their teeth, often during sleep. Over time, this habit can lead to serious dental issues such as worn-down teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and even damage to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Many people don’t realize they grind their teeth until they experience the negative effects.

A custom Night Guard or Teeth Grinding Appliance is designed to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding. These oral appliances create a cushion between your teeth, reducing wear and tear, relieving jaw tension, and preventing further damage to your teeth and TMJ. With a comfortable, personalized fit, our grinding appliances help you preserve your smile and avoid the complications of bruxism.

Signs You May Be Grinding Your Teeth:

  • Worn, flat, or chipped teeth
  • Jaw pain or discomfort upon waking
  • Frequent headaches, especially in the morning
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
