Snooze Soundly With A Custom Oral Appliance
Dr. Rod Gleave is certified to use a SomnoDent sleep apnea oral appliance. The adjustable oral appliance slowly realigns your lower jaw position to help you breathe better – without causing pain to your jaw joint. It has been effective in treating snoring and mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea. It is also beneficial in helping patients who have trouble using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine.
To see if a sleep apnea appliance can help you, Dr. Gleave can provide you with equipment for a home sleep test. If you require more involved treatment, he will refer you to a trusted sleep physician.
What Is Sleep Apnea Treatment?
Sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissue in the back of your mouth collapses while you sleep, blocking your airway and making it difficult to receive oxygen. Research has linked it to heart failure and strokes, among other health problems. Dr. Rod Gleave is certified to use a SomnoDent sleep apnea oral appliance, an adjustable device that slowly realigns your lower jaw position to help you breathe better, without causing pain to your jaw joint. It has been effective in treating snoring and mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea, and it's especially beneficial for patients who have trouble using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine.
