Breathe Easier With Help From A Sleep Apnea Dentist

Sleep apnea causes repeated interruptions in your breathing while you sleep, potentially affecting your rest and overall health. For obstructive sleep apnea, a custom-fitted oral appliance can gently position your jaw to help maintain an open airway throughout the night. Your dentist works with your sleep physician to determine whether this noninvasive treatment is appropriate for your needs.
