  1. Sleep Apnea: A Comprehensive Guide Learn everything you need to know about sleep apnea, a common and serious sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. by Vernon Dentist

  2. Sleep Apnea: Types & Causes Types Causes Sleep apnea is categorized as obstructive, central, and complex. Symptoms include loud snoring, pauses in breath, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Obesity, alcohol or drug use, smoking, and nasal congestion can all contribute to sleep apnea. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications.

  3. How Dentists Can Help Sleep Assessment Oral Appliance Therapy Custom-Fitted Solution Dentists can conduct a sleep assessment to evaluate your risk of sleep apnea with a comprehensive exam and a sleep questionnaire. Dentists can also provide oral appliances that can help treat sleep apnea. These devices keep your airways open and improve breathing while you sleep. Oral appliances are custom- fitted to your mouth to ensure optimal comfort and effectiveness. They are also easy to use, clean, and maintain.

  4. Dental Sleep Medicine 1 2 3 Overview Certification Research Dental sleep medicine is a specialized field that focuses on the use of oral appliances to treat sleep apnea. It is a safe and non- invasive treatment alternative to CPAP therapy. Dentists who practice dental sleep medicine undergo extensive training and certification to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to provide effective treatment. Ongoing research in dental sleep medicine is improving our understanding of sleep apnea and helping to develop new and improved treatment options.

  5. Types of Oral Appliances Mandibular Advancement Devices Tongue Retaining Devices These devices work by moving the lower jaw forward, which tightens the soft tissues and muscles in the airway and prevents them from collapsing during sleep. These devices hold the tongue in place to prevent it from blocking the airway during sleep. They are a good option for patients with a small lower jaw or who have difficulty using a mandibular device.

  6. Benefits of Oral Appliances 1 2 3 Effective Comfortable Portable Oral appliances are highly effective in treating mild to moderate sleep apnea, with success rates as high as 90%. Unlike CPAP masks, oral appliances are comfortable and easy to wear. They do not cause skin irritation, dry mouth, or nasal congestion. Oral appliances are small, lightweight, and easy to transport. You can take them with you when you travel or sleep away from home.
