Tired Out From Snoring

It doesn’t have to affect your life!

Snoring can be an indication of a more serious condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) which can lead to interrupted breathing many times a night with potentially serious health problems. Such problems include hypertension, coronary heart disease, strokes, short-term memory loss and early onset of Alzheimer’s. That’s one of the reasons we’re proud to offer our patients a Mandibular Advancement Appliance (MAA). This appliance is designed to treat mild to moderate sleep apnea. It is perfect for patients who are unwilling or unable to tolerate the discomfort of a CPAP machine.

The MAA is light, comfortable, and looks and fits like a retainer. The appliance is a custom-made, adjustable device designed to open the airway by repositioning the jaw in a downward and forward position, preventing the throat from closing.

• It requires no surgery – in one visit, we create a dental impression, and send it to a specialized lab.
• You can talk and drink water while you’re wearing it.
• It does not interfere with breathing through the mouth, even with a stuffy nose.
• Once your appliance has been created, we will show you how to use it and ensure proper fit and comfort with follow-up.

We feel privileged to assist our patients who endure sleep loss, work, health, and even relationship issues because of snoring. Call today and ask about the MAA oral appliance.
