Sleep apnea is a condition in which your breathing stops periodically during sleep, as many as 20-30 times per hour. The constant wake-sleep, wake-sleep cycle prevents those with sleep apnea from achieving deep sleep, resulting in a constant drowsy feeling during the day. Treatments for sleep apnea depend on the severity of each individual case, and the type of apnea. Depending on your situation, treatment may involve an oral device that we can custom-create for you.
SomnoDent®
For the treatment of OSA, SomnoDent® is worn during sleep to maintain the patency of the upper airway by increasing its dimensions and reducing collapsibility.
SomnoDent is a custom made appliance, comprised of upper and lower dental plates with a unique patented fin coupling component, which allows normal mouth opening and closing.
SomnoDent is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, making it easy to carry when traveling. The appliance is comfortable and easy to wear. Most people find that it only takes one or two nights to get used to it.
