Oral Appliance Therapy and Benefits Of Treatment
Comfortable Treatments For Sleep Apnea
Oral appliance therapy is highly effective for many patients who experience sleep apnea. Your appliance is custom-fitted by Dr. McLauchlin to ensure it fits properly and meets your needs. You will notice that the device fits similar to a retainer or mouthguard. The oral appliance keeps your airway open by keeping your jaw and tongue forward while you sleep, which prevents your airways from becoming blocked at night. Unlike a CPAP machine, these are small and comfortable.
Your dentist may recommend oral appliance therapy if you are experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea, such as chronic fatigue, snoring, and more. Some benefits of oral appliance therapy include:
- No noise from machines or in-mask breathing
- Easy to clean
- Small and portable
- Convenient for travel
- No electricity required
- Comfortable and simple to use
- Reduce or prevent bruxism (grinding)
- There are no hoses to tangle with while sleeping
- No mask to cause skin irritations
- No feelings of claustrophobia
