After a diagnosis by a Sleep Specialist and sleep clinic results, your physician may give you a diagnosis of “Mild to Moderate Sleep Apnea”. These conditions can be treated either by a CPAP machine or removible dental appliances with a prescription from your sleep specialist. Most medical insurance companies will cover these appliances, but a pre- approval is necessary. The appliances fit your upper and lower jaws and attach together to reposition your jaw. Some trials are necessary to get the exact position needed.
Most snoring is considered a sleep disturbance, and is usually caused by your lower jaw moving and partially closing off the airway at the back of the throat, Dental Snoring appliances reposition the jaw to allow maximum air flow and reduce or eliminate snoring. Each case is evaluated for the type of appliance that would work the best.
