Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders. It occurs when people fail to breathe in and out during sleep. Cessations of breath lasting ten or more seconds are considered apnea events. Patients suffering from this disorder may have 100s or 1000s of apnea events each night. Traditionally, patients received treatment using continuous positive airway systems, but many people are unable to adjust to these sleep apnea therapies. If you’re struggling to adjust to your CPAP system, you may want to consider receiving an oral appliance from your dentist. There are many types of appliances available, and each appliance has its own set of advantages. Finding the best one for your unique sleep apnea needs is essential to ensure you achieve the highest quality and quantity of sleep. One of the most popular oral appliance lines is the SomnoDent range. Using a variety of materials and appliance styles, SomnoDent may just have the appliance you need to sleep soundly through the night.
