Dr. Hajra Sheikh, Dr. Usman Javed, Dr. Lucas Patrick and Dr. Maria Rejon are dedicated to improving your sleep quality through the use of specialized sleep appliances. These devices are designed to alleviate symptoms of sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, a condition that not only disrupts sleep but can also lead to serious health complications if left untreated.
What Are Sleep Appliances?
Sleep appliances, also known as oral appliances, are custom-fitted devices worn during sleep to maintain the openness of the airway. These devices typically work by repositioning the jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction, which is a common cause of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
Benefits of Using Sleep Appliances:
- Improved Sleep Quality: Helps reduce or eliminate snoring and interruptions in breathing that disturb sleep.
- Enhanced Health: Effective management of sleep apnea can decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.
- Comfort and Convenience: These devices are small, portable and easy to wear, making them a convenient alternative to CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines.
Customization Process:
- Assessment and Fitting: Our dentists and team will conduct a thorough assessment to ensure the appliance is tailored to your specific needs.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to adjust the appliance as needed and to monitor your progress.
