Snoring And Sleep Apnea
Symptoms of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea can be be greatly improved with a simple dental device that advances the mandible, however arriving at that point can be a little more complicated.
Dentist can make sleep devices that can treat mild and moderate sleep apnea but they cannot diagnose sleep apnea and cannot make a diagnosis if the dental sleep device is working. That is the job a medial doctor who specializes in sleep medicine. We will work with your sleep specialist to insure that your sleep apnea is being properly treated.

Why not just use a CPAP?
CPAP's are the standard of care. If you can tolerate one, then just keep using it. Unfortunatley, 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.
How do I find a sleep MD?
There are many great sleep centers and doctors in our area. Putting costs aside, this is the ideal starting point. If your insurance won't cover sleep medicine, online sleep doctors, like SleepTest.com, can send you everything you need to do a sleep study at home and provide you with a diagnosis for about $300.
