At Dental Sleep Medicine of the Lowcountry, we offer advanced oral appliance therapy to treat sleep apnea and snoring. Our customized FDA-approved appliances are safe, effective, and designed to suit individual needs, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your comfort and improved sleep health.
Oral appliances are sophisticated devices that work while you sleep, resembling orthodontic retainers or sports mouthguards. However, our approach at Dental Sleep Medicine of the Lowcountry is different. We recognize that each patient is unique, with distinct needs and anatomical variations. Therefore, we offer a range of options, including mandibular repositioning devices and tongue-retaining devices, to cater to your specific requirements.
Oral appliance therapy is a highly effective treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where throat muscles relax and block the airway during sleep, leading to interrupted breathing and sleep disturbances. By stabilizing the jaw in a forward position, our oral appliances keep the upper airway open, allowing for better sleep and preventing serious medical complications.
For those struggling with disruptive snoring, our oral appliances alter the airflow in the throat, reducing or eliminating the snoring noise for a restful night's sleep, not just for you but also for your sleep partner.
Using an oral appliance while sleeping requires a brief adjustment period, but with our high-quality, custom-fitted appliances, discomfort is minimized. Our appliances are made from materials that do not cause friction or irritation to your cheeks, gums, or soft tissues. During your consultation, our practitioners work closely with you to select the right appliance, tailored to fit your mouth precisely. We provide detailed instructions on wearing and caring for the device, ensuring you enjoy the long-term benefits of oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea or snoring.
