Discover better sleep with gentle sleep apnea solutions from Brodine Prosthodontics! Our providers know quality sleep is essential to your health, focus, and overall well-being. We also know that for those living with sleep apnea, restful nights can be hard to come by. At our dental practice in Rochester, NY, we offer comfortable, effective treatment solutions for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. Our prosthodontic experts create custom oral appliances (nightguards) that help open the airway, promote natural breathing, and help you reclaim a higher quality of sleep.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder involving breathing that repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night. The most common type of sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea, occurs when soft tissues in the throat relax and temporarily block airflow.
Common signs and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) include:
- Loud or frequent snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Morning headaches or dry mouth
- Daytime fatigue or difficulty concentrating
Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase your risk for more serious health conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. At Brodine Prosthodontics, our team offers non-invasive sleep apnea treatment with custom-fitted oral appliances.
Custom Oral Appliance Therapy
For many patients, oral appliance therapy provides a simple, non-invasive alternative to traditional CPAP machines. Using advanced digital technology, our team can design and create a custom-made sleep apnea nightguard that fits comfortably over your teeth. The small, comfortable oral appliance is designed to gently reposition the lower jaw and keep the airway open during sleep, helping you breathe easily and sleep soundly throughout the night.
Benefits of a custom oral appliance for sleep apnea include:
- Compact, quiet, and travel-friendly
- Comfortable, custom-fitted, and easy to wear
- No hoses, cords, or noise that often come with a traditional CPAP machine
- Easy to clean and maintain
At Brodine Prosthodontics, our prosthodontic expertise ensures that your sleep apnea night guard is not only effective for airway support, but also protects your bite and long-term oral health. Our doctors bring advanced training in jaw alignment, occlusion, and oral appliance design to every case. Their expertise allows for the precise creation of sleep apnea appliances that optimize comfort, breathing, and durability.
