Tired of Poor Sleep?
You deserve clear answers and comfortable options to help you rest better and breathe more easily at night.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a medical condition where a person’s breathing stops and then begins again during their sleep. Most commonly, this occurs because the person’s airway becomes obstructed or narrowed. As a result, many patients experience extreme fatigue, daily headaches, loud snoring, and a general sense of unwellness that is affecting their quality of life.
Choosing the Right Option
| Concern | Often a Good Fit |
|---|---|
| You snore loudly and wake up feeling tired | Sleep apnea evaluation |
| You want an alternative to a CPAP machine | Custom oral appliance therapy |
| You have mild to moderate airway blockage during sleep | Oral appliance treatment |
| You travel often and want a simple nighttime option | Portable oral appliance |
| You want a treatment that fits your nightly routine | Personalized sleep apnea care |
How Care Moves Forward
- Your initial appointment begins with a conversation about your sleep patterns, your current symptoms, and your past medical history.
- Your provider reviews your sleep study results, which are a diagnostic tool used to measure your breathing, oxygen levels, and your various stages of sleep.
- Based upon your individual needs and preferences, your provider will create a customized treatment plan that describes your available options, expected outcomes, and how treatment will affect your daily routine.
- If you decide to use an oral appliance, a custom-made appliance will be created to gently hold your lower jaw in a position that allows for an open airway during sleep.
- The success of treatment will be evaluated with periodic appointments (usually every 2-6 weeks) to assess the fit of your appliance and your level of improvement.
Understanding costs
As with any treatment, the cost of your care will depend on your specific diagnosis, the type of device prescribed to you, and your overall treatment plan. Insurance coverage varies widely; therefore, prior to starting your treatment, your dental team will review your insurance coverage and explain your financial responsibilities.
