Sleep apnea is a disorder in which a person repeatedly stops breathing during sleep, typically hundreds of times per night. The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs due to the recurrent narrowing of the airway during sleep. At All in the Family Dental, we offer effective treatment options for sleep apnea in Evansville, IN.
Oral Appliance Therapy
For mild to moderate sleep apnea cases, custom oral appliances provide a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines. These devices work by repositioning your jaw during sleep to keep your airway open, allowing for uninterrupted breathing. Our oral appliances are designed specifically for your mouth, ensuring comfort and effectiveness throughout the night.
Diagnosis Process
We begin with a convenient home sleep study that you wear for one or two nights. This device measures breathing interruptions and helps our sleep specialists determine if you have sleep apnea and its severity. Next, we review results with you to determine the best treatment approach.
Untreated sleep apnea contributes to serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic fatigue. Don't let sleep apnea compromise your health and quality of life. Contact our team at (812) 423-6113 to schedule your sleep apnea evaluation in Evansville, IN.
