Struggling with your sleep? If friends and family have started to bring up your snoring, they really might have a point. Obstructive sleep apnea is a prevalent sleep disorder that affects millions of people on a nightly basis. It happens during the deepest form of sleep, and it can contribute to some serious health conditions.

At Healthy Smiles, Dr. Lelak, DMD has a sleep apnea solution that’s simple, convenient, and small enough to fit in your pocket. Oral appliance therapy works using mandibular advancement, so it needs no hoses or wires to be effective. So, if you’ve been avoiding your CPAP, see about a different option.

Oral Appliance Therapy Takes A Different Approach

If you’ve been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, then it’s important to find treatment that works for you. This sleep disorder can significantly increase a patient’s risk of heart attack, stroke, and even type II diabetes. But often, people shy away from using CPAP.

That’s why we offer oral appliance therapy. Instead of titration, this approach uses mandibular advancement to keep the airway free of obstruction throughout the night.

At your next visit, let’s talk about your sleep apnea diagnosis to see if oral appliance therapy is a great fit. Call Healthy Smiles Family Dentistry in Houston, TX, at (281) 974-4494 and schedule a time to talk teeth.
