Custom-fit oral appliance designed for nighttime comfort
Sleep Apnea in India
Dental screening and oral-appliance options that may support healthier nighttime breathing.
Sleep apnea is a medical sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly pauses or becomes restricted during sleep. Dentists can play an important role in recognizing risk factors and, for appropriate patients with a medical diagnosis, providing custom oral appliance therapy designed to help keep the airway more open.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
How Can Dentistry Help with Sleep Apnea?
A dental sleep evaluation reviews your teeth, jaw, bite, airway-related anatomy, sleep symptoms, and any existing sleep-study results. When a physician has diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea and an oral appliance is appropriate, a custom device can reposition the lower jaw during sleep to improve airflow for some patients.
Every sleep apnea plan begins with an evaluation so the recommendation can account for your oral health, comfort, timeline, and long-term goals.
