Oral Sleep Apnea Appliances Detroit

Novi, Michigan

When it comes to treating your sleep apnea with an oral appliance, there are several different sleep apnea devices that can be used by those suffering from the condition. Though we love to save money in any way we can, it may be wisest to spend more to ensure that the product you have is treating your sleep apnea. There are anti-snoring appliances available online for as little as $10. The danger is that these devices may indeed reduce your snoring, but they won’t correct the sleep apnea, meaning that your breathing is still stopping in the middle of the night, so all the appliance has really done is ensure that you suffocate to death quietly.

You need an oral sleep apnea appliance that goes beyond just masking the symptom of snoring. The reason that these appliances made by no-name companies don’t reliably treat sleep apnea is that they are not personalized and professionally fitted for you to wear. Also, without a polysomnography, you could be trying to treat sever sleep apnea with a basic anti-snoring device. This is like trying to treat a gunshot wound with a band-aid. Sure, you might save a few bucks, but you’re putting your life at risk!

After you’ve been properly diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, it’s time to invest in an oral sleep apnea appliance that is provided by your sleep apnea dentist. These appliance correct sleep apnea through mandibular advancement, that is, moving your lower jaw forward. By advancing the mandible, oral sleep apnea appliances also move the tongue forward and open up the airway.
