Mouth Devices Available for Patients with Sleep Apnea and Sleep-Disordered Breathing

At A & S Dental Wellness Center of Leominster, patients dealing with sleep-disordered breathing concerns such as snoring and sleep apnea may find that our team of professionals can help with mouth devices or “oral appliances.” These can help maintain open airways and reduce snoring and sleep apnea symptoms using a single mouthpiece.

How Do Mouth Devices Work for Sleep Apnea and Snoring?

Patients of Leominster, Massachusetts, who are dealing with conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea or chronic snoring may find themselves unsure how they can address these problems and get a good night’s rest, both for themselves and their sleeping partners! These appliances are designed to maintain open airways, allowing air to flow and reducing the obstructions that can cause snoring and obstructive sleep apnea symptoms. These devices are much more comfortable than other treatments often recommended by medical professionals, such as CPAP machines worn at night to maintain open airways. These devices are uncomfortable, difficult to travel with, and often cause patients to stop using them, risking compliance. Instead, a special custom-made mouth device is fabricated for the patient to wear at night and reduce sleep-disordered breathing.

Do I Need an Oral Appliance?

If your primary care physician has recently diagnosed you with obstructive sleep apnea or chronic snoring, you may be a candidate for the use of mouth devices to address these issues and ensure better rest every night! Dr. Yijia Li can evaluate you during a consultation visit to decide if you are a good fit for oral appliance therapy.
