Treatment for Sleep Apnea

Get a Better Night's Sleep

Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious condition which can have major consequences on your health and overall well-being. In patients with sleep apnea, the muscles in the throat relax during sleep causing the airways to become blocked. This issue occurs throughout the night, causing interruptions in sleep.

At our practice, we provide oral appliance therapy and other treatments for sleep apnea. Our oral appliances can reposition your jaw to prevent the airways from becoming blocked. With clear airways, you can enjoy a better night's sleep and prevent other health issues from arising.
