Treat Sleep Disorders With an Oral Appliance

At Synergy Dental Center, Dr. Porter can screen you for a sleep disorder and offer a convenient at-home sleep test. If you are diagnosed with this condition, we can help you find a sleep apnea treatment that is right for you. Before your visit, you can do some self-screening of your own with the resources below:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea Quiz
• Acid Reflux Assessment
• Pediatric Sleep-Disordered Breathing or Airway Obstruction

The most common treatment option for adults is a CPAP (or continuous positive airway pressure) machine. These can be effective if they are used correctly. Unfortunately, experts estimate that as many as 8 in 10 people with CPAP machines do not use them like they should. Some people are bothered by the sounds their machines make. Some people find the masks uncomfortable. In other cases, people simply find their machines to be too much trouble.

We offer an alternative to a CPAP that many of our patients consider more comfortable and convenient. With one of our custom-fitted oral appliances that you wear like a mouthguard when you sleep, your airways remain open throughout the night. You will breathe easily, stop snoring, and stay asleep longer so you wake up feeling rested and refreshed.

One type of oral appliance is a mandibular advancement device. This appliance gently shifts your lower jaw forward (along with your tongue) to keep your airway open while you relax to sleep. It is very comfortable, easy to use, and highly effective for many patients.
