Sleep Apnea Appliances
Rest is more than feeling refreshed. In fact, sleep plays a vital role in keeping you healthy. Do you have trouble sleeping due to loud snoring or waking up tired? It could be time to investigate further. Yes, most individuals view these issues as normal occurrences, but some might be caused by sleep apnea. At Bombay Dental Specialities, we provide personalised sleep apnea appliances that help increase airflow.
The process will begin with consultations. You will consult with us regarding your sleep problems, medical history, oral health status, your bite, and jaw alignment. We will decide if a sleep apnea appliance is the right solution for you. In some cases, we will refer you to a sleep physician to assist in diagnosis and management.
The next step will involve taking impressions or digital scans of your mouth. The records are used to prepare an appliance that is specifically designed to match the specifications of your mouth.
When your appliance is ready, we will schedule an appointment to test its fit. The process involves checking and adjusting if there is any need to ensure the comfort of the appliance before you start using it. You will also be instructed on how to use, clean, and maintain it.
You will need to schedule subsequent appointments for monitoring and adjustment of the appliance. These visits are essential to ensure it maintains good fit and performance.
Your sleep apnea appliance will be designed to maintain your airway open by positioning the lower jaw. This increases the chances of reduced snoring and improved breathing.
In addition, patients using the appliance experience improved quality of sleep and feel more refreshed when they wake up. They are small, lightweight, and comfortable for wearing; hence can be carried around easily. Additionally, they offer a great alternative for suitable patients who prefer a non-invasive treatment.
More importantly, each appliance is customised to fit your mouth. Therefore, this increases comfort, regular use and improves your outcome. When reviewed regularly and maintained properly, the appliance will continue to assist in achieving great results.
Are sleep apnea appliances comfortable?
Yes. Each appliance is custom-made for your mouth; therefore, they are made to be comfortable. Most patients quickly adapt to the device.
Can a sleep apnea appliance reduce snoring?
Yes. In some patients, a sleep apnea appliance reduces snoring because it keeps your airway open.
How long does it take to receive a custom appliance?
After consultation and taking of your impressions/digital scans, the custom appliance will be ready for your fitting appointment.
Can everyone use a sleep apnea appliance?
No. Every individual is assessed separately. Some individuals may require referral to a sleep physician depending on their condition.
