Home / Sleep Apnea Treatment
Do you or your loved one suffer from disruptive snoring or excessive daytime sleepiness? These could be signs of sleep apnea, a serious condition characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. At Dental Partners of Fifth Avenue, conveniently located on the Upper East Side of New York City, we offer effective sleep apnea treatment options, including custom-designed oral appliances, to help you breathe easier and enjoy a more restful and healthier night’s sleep.
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder in which your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These pauses, often accompanied by gasping or choking sounds, can occur numerous times throughout the night, disrupting the normal sleep cycle and leading to oxygen deprivation. While loud snoring is a common symptom, not everyone who snores has sleep apnea, and some individuals with sleep apnea may not snore loudly.
Dental sleep apnea treatment with oral appliances may be a good option for individuals who:
• Have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
• Experience loud and disruptive snoring.
• Are unable or unwilling to use CPAP therapy.
• Are looking for a more comfortable and portable treatment option.
• Have been recommended for an oral appliance by a sleep physician.
Our dentists will work closely with your sleep physician to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
At Dental Partners of Fifth Avenue, we utilize custom-designed oral appliances (also known as mandibular advancement devices or MADs) to treat sleep apnea and snoring. These appliances resemble orthodontic retainers and are worn while you sleep. They work by:
The result is a more open and unobstructed airway, allowing for smoother breathing and a more restful night’s sleep.
Consistency is key to the success of oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea. You will need to wear your appliance every night as directed by our dentists. It may take a short period to adjust to wearing the appliance, but most patients find them comfortable and effective over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your appliance are also important for hygiene and longevity. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your specific appliance.
