Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatment
Yes, a dentist CAN treat sleep apnea without a CPAP machine! In fact, Dr. Marcuso has advanced training in dental sleep medicine, and he’s happy to work with your sleep physician to get you the restful sleep you deserve.
For many patients, oral appliance therapy is the answer they’ve been looking for!
Let’s take a look at this popular alternative to a loud, bulky, uncomfortable CPAP machine.
How an Oral Appliance Works
If you’ve been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea, or if you just can’t seem to adjust to a CPAP machine, you might be eligible for an oral appliance.
This custom mouthguard moves your jaw forward, keeping your airway open and allowing you to sleep without gasping for air, holding your breath, or snoring.
You and your partner will finally see what it’s like to get the deep sleep you need.
