Sleep Apnea

Are you suffering from snoring, gasping for air at night, or experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness? These could be signs of sleep-disordered breathing, such as snoring or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Left untreated, these conditions can lead to serious health problems.

At Midwest BioHealth in , we offer dental sleep medicine solutions to help you breathe better and sleep soundly.

What is Dental Sleep Medicine?

Dental sleep medicine is a specialized field focusing on treating sleep-related breathing disorders. We offer custom oral appliance therapy, a proven alternative to CPAP for many patients.

How Oral Appliances Work for Snoring & Sleep Apnea:

Oral appliances are comfortable, custom-fitted devices worn during sleep. They gently reposition your jaw and tongue, keeping your airway open and preventing the tissues in the back of your throat from collapsing. This allows for unobstructed breathing and better sleep quality.

Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy:

• Effective: Proven to be effective for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.

• Comfortable: Easy to wear and adjust to, unlike bulky CPAP machines.

• Convenient: Portable and discreet, perfect for travel.

• Non-Invasive: No surgery or other invasive procedures required.

• Reversible: You can stop using the appliance at any time.
