The road to healthy sleep can be tricky. Do you just snore, or do you have sleep apnea? Will you do best with a CPAP? Will you wear it? Would a mandibular advancement device (MAD) be a better solution for you? Should you consider a surgical implant to treat snoring and sleep apnea? The truth is that no one knows where you eventually will land, but we do know sleep apnea can take years off of your life in many different ways.
While you are finding the best solution for you, which can take a long time, we suggest in the meantime reducing your snoring with a provisional mandibular advancement device. Why? It is a fast, affordable, and effective way to take breathing stress off of your body while you find your best solution. It is medically approved to treat mild and moderate sleep apnea. Over 90% of people consistently wear their mandibular advancement device compared to only 46% for CPAP. Silent-Nite has a history of success with over 400,000 delivered, and it is Medicare approved.
There are many mandibular advancement devices that can be purchased over the counter. They do work, but if done incorrectly they can cause permanent damage to your TMJ and your bite through damage to your muscles of mastication. Our custom appliance is much smaller and therefore more comfortable. We will oversee your treatment while ensuring that your teeth and your bite remain healthy while you go through the steps with a Sleep MD who will diagnose you and recommend further treatment if necessary.

Snoring And Sleep ApneaSleep apnea, while often seen as a nuisance due to snoring, carries significant risks to your health if left untreated. Here are some of the key dangers: Cardiovascular Issues:
How Dentists can help with Sleep Apnea. Traditionally, sleep MD's use Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or CPAP as the standard treatment for sleep apnea. This involves wearing a mask with hose connected while you sleep. As you can imagine, some patients can not tolerate a CPAP. Mandibular Advancement Devices are an alternative to CPAP and are a medically approved device to treat mild and moderate sleep apnea. They are a device made by a dentist which incudes an upper and lower nightguard which together advance the mandible so that your upper and lower front teeth rest end to end while you sleep. It doesn't seem like much of a change in positioning, but a just a little more airway from thrusting your chin forward while you sleep can save your life.
Why not just use a CPAP? CPAP's are the standard of care. If you can tolerate one, then just keep using it. Unfortunately, many cannot tolerate a CPAP. Only 46% of patients wear CPAP's most nights. Over 90% wear mandibular advancement devices. Mandibular advancement devices are for those who have mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea and who cannot or will not wear a CPAP.

Why choose us for your Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD).Most patients are in one of two places. Either you are here looking for a CPAP alternative or you know you snore, and you fear you might have sleep apnea. No matter your situation we offer specific advantages with our mandibular advancement devices. Are you coming from out of state?
1. We use the best devices. For patients who know they would like a long term mandibular advancement device we use Prosomnus EVO appliances. They are unmatched in there quality and comfort. You will have this appliance in your mouth for about 33% of the rest of your life, and the EVO appliance is hands down the best out there. It gives your tongue more room that other appliances. It doesn't discolor or smell bad because it is made with surgical grade plastic. You don't have to lock your upper and lower teeth together like most appliances. Prosomnus supplies multiple EVO appliances so you can interchange them to get the advancement you need.
We use Silent Nite devices to provide a fast, comfortable, more affordable alternative to other devices. We also love it as a provisional sleep apnea device. It works the same as the EVO, with just a different advancement mechanism. Using it you will learn if you can tolerate an oral appliance, if it will stop your snoring, and if you wear it while you get a sleep study you may get an idea if you could avoid wearing a CPAP (see #3). 2. We use scanning technology. Scanning is more accurate than dental impressions allowing for a more comfortable and predictable fit. The scanning process is also more comfortable than taking an impression, which can trigger the gag reflex in some patients.
3. Take a shortcut and save money on your sleep apnea/snoring journey. The road to breathing better while you sleep can be long and grueling while you deal with sleep doctors, sleep centers, insurance carriers and possibly dentists. There is a way around that. Only 46% of patients wear their CPAP most nights, while over 90% wear mandibular advancement devices. If you snore and you think you may be one of the 54% who won't wear a CPAP, consider getting a provisional mandibular advancement appliance to stop snoring immediately and THEN get a sleep study while wearing it. Some will still need a CPAP, but many will no longer have sleep apnea and their snoring will be greatly reduced. You will still need to get a sleep study, but you will be breathing better, snoring less, and may not need a CPAP if you start with mandibular advancement device rather than arriving there 6 months and thousands of dollars down the road. Please note that your insurance will not reimburse you for your appliance until you have a diagnosis from a medical doctor.
