Sleep Apnea Appliances Near You
Sleep apnea is a medical disorder that affects 10% of males over the age of 40 and 6% of women over the age of 40 in North America. Sleep apnea is when you stop breathing in your sleep once or multiple times throughout the night. Normal breathing is ceased since the airway is obstructed, causing a reduction of airflow to the lungs.
If you are experiencing trouble breathing during the night, we recommended receiving sleep apnea appliances in Scarborough, ON. There are several devices that dental clinics offer to alleviate this condition. The goal for most of these devices is to separate the jaws and push them forward slightly. Doing so opens up the airway and allows oxygen flow.
Most people who received sleep apnea appliances in Scarborough, ON have noticed that they stopped their loud snoring, are more comfortable going to sleep, and feel more rested during the daytime. We are happy to offer sleep apnea appliances near you!
Types of Sleep Apnea Appliances Near You
We offer two categories of sleep apnea appliances near you: fixed and adjustable. Here is a brief description of commonly used appliances:
Tap 3 (Thornton adjustable positioner)
Tap 3 is small and the most comfortable out of all TAP appliances. This appliance is custom created and fits over the teeth in a similar way to a sports mouthguard. TAP 3 projects the jaw forward and prevents the tongue and soft tissue from blocking the airway. The lower jaw positioner is adjustable and can be altered to suit your comfort level. This appliance also allows the lips to close altogether.
OASYS Appliance
This appliance moves the base of your tongue toward the front of the mouthguard by repositioning the jawbone, opening and strengthening the upper airway. The OASYS is adjustable and comfortable to wear and is very patient-friendly.
Klearway Appliance
Klearway Appliance is used to alleviate sleep disorders and also to eliminate loud snoring. We provide this type of sleep apnea appliance near you to project the jaw forward in increments of 0.25mm at a time to ensure excellent comfort while sleeping.
Herbst Telescopic Appliance
This application is held in the mouth with clasps and grips made of acrylic and contains adjustable metal wiring.
