Sleep Better Des Moines provides different types of FDA-approved, custom-fabricated dental appliances that move your lower jaw slightly forward and, thus, open up your airway. You are required to wear this mouthguard only when you sleep. This does two things: a) it prevents you from snoring, and b) it stops any interruptions in your breathing, which are sleep apnea episodes.
Oral device therapy has shown remarkable results in many of our OSA patients, not only because it is effective but also because it’s so convenient to use. You don’t need to wear any confining face masks or hook yourself to a machine with continuous beeping noise throughout the night.
To use the device, put the retainer-like appliance in your mouth before you go to bed and enjoy a restorative sleep! The appliance is specifically made based on your dental anatomy.
