FAQs
What is a sleep apnea appliance?
A sleep apnea appliance is a custom-made oral device that helps keep your airway open during sleep by repositioning your jaw or tongue. It’s an alternative to using a CPAP machine for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
How do I know if a sleep apnea appliance is right for me?
If you have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea or have difficulty tolerating a CPAP machine, a sleep apnea appliance might be a good option. Our team at St. Pierre Family Dentistry can assess your needs during a consultation.
Is the appliance comfortable to wear overnight?
Yes. These appliances are custom-fitted to your mouth, which makes them more comfortable than over-the-counter options. Some patients may need a short adjustment period, but most find them easy to wear.
How do I care for my sleep apnea appliance?
Regular cleaning is important. Rinse the device daily and use a toothbrush and mild soap to clean it thoroughly at least once a week. Avoid hot water that could warp the material.
Can children use sleep apnea appliances?
Sleep apnea appliances are generally designed for adults, but if a child has sleep apnea, a specialized evaluation is needed. Contact St. Pierre Family Dentistry to discuss treatment options suitable for younger patients.
