Do you struggle with snoring or sleep apnea? Although these sleep disorders may seem harmless, they can drastically affect your health and quality of life. At Raleigh Dental Arts, we offer custom-made sleep appliances designed to improve your breathing and help you get the restful sleep you deserve.
What Are Sleep Appliances?
Sleep appliances, or oral appliances, are custom-fitted devices you wear while you sleep. These appliances gently reposition the lower jaw or tongue to prevent airway obstruction, which improves airflow throughout the night. Sleep appliances are most commonly used to treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring.
How Do Sleep Appliances Work?
When you sleep, the muscles in your throat naturally relax. For some people, this relaxation causes the airway to become blocked, leading to snoring or breathing pauses (sleep apnea). Sleep appliances work by adjusting the position of your jaw or tongue and preventing the airway from collapsing.
At Raleigh Dental Arts, we create custom-made sleep appliances to fit comfortably in your mouth. After taking impressions of your teeth, we design an appliance that fits snugly and allows you to sleep soundly. Unlike bulky CPAP machines, sleep appliances are small, portable, and easy to use.
