What is sleep apnea and what causes it?
There are three forms of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and mixed. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type and happens when the muscles in the back of a patient’s throat relax and block the airway. Central sleep apnea occurs when a patient’s brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control their breathing, and mixed sleep apnea is a combination of the two disorders.

How can we help treat sleep apnea?
At Joseph M. Boesch, DDS Dental Care, we know that oral appliance therapy as a treatment for mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea can provide many patients with the sleep they need to feel their best. With a custom-fitted oral appliance that’s worn while a patient sleeps, the patient’s tongue and jaw are held forward, preventing relaxed muscles from blocking their airway.

What benefits do these devices offer?
There are a number of benefits, including:

  • These devices are customized to fit each patient’s mouth and they don’t interfere with their sleep.
  • Because they’re easy to care for and clean, these devices don’t require special maintenance or upkeep.
  • Small, portable, and convenient, these devices can be easily taken with you when you travel.
