Sleep apnea can cause all sorts of problems in your life and it’s important to get ahead of your symptoms before they drastically impact your health. With an oral appliance, Dr. Solly can help you get the uninterrupted rest you deserve.
Getting the Right Diagnosis
The first step of any sleep apnea treatment is to get an accurate diagnosis. That’s why Dr. Solly offers take-home sleep tests to monitor your breathing through the night. Your primary doctor or a qualified sleep specialist will review the results of your sleep test and provide you with an official diagnosis and prescription for treatment if you’re suffering from sleep apnea.
Once you have your prescription, Dr. Solly will help you find the treatment option that’s right for you.
Your Treatment Options
One of the most common treatments for sleep apnea is a continuous positive airway pressure machine (CPAP). This treatment involves wearing a mask that supplies a steady stream of pressurized air while you sleep. The pressure holds your airway open, allowing you to breathe normally throughout the night.
CPAP machines are very effective, but many patients find them to be too bulky and inconvenient. Some patients struggle to sleep with their CPAP masks for more than a few hours, rendering the treatment useless.
Thankfully, Dr. Solly offers comfortable, non-invasive oral appliances as an alternative to CPAP treatment.
Oral Appliances–An Alternative to CPAP
Dr. Solly can treat your snoring and other sleep apnea symptoms with a custom-made mandibular repositioning device (MDR). These devices shift your lower jaw (mandible) forward to allow the tissues in your airway to remain open, while also holding your tongue in place to prevent it from collapsing and blocking your throat.
An MDR offers several advantages, most notably that it’s small and portable. You can easily take your oral appliance anywhere you want to go, unlike CPAP machines. It’s also highly affordable compared to most sleep apnea treatments and it doesn’t require surgery.
Dr. Solly is proud to feature oral appliances from two leaders in the field, Narval™ CC by ResMed and SomnoDent by SomnoMed®.
