any patients suffer from sleep apnea, a dangerous medical
condition in which the patient stops breathing numerous times
during their sleep. This puts a significant stress on your heart,
causing oxygen deprivation and chronic fatigue. Although a CPAP
machine is still the best treatment for this condition, many
patients simply cannot tolerate the device. In those instances
we can construct a mandibular repositioning device to improve
on and alleviate the problem. In most cases we will also work
closely together with a sleep medicine doctor to ensure we are
treating your problem in the best way possible. For cases of
snoring without apnea we can also make an appliance that will
reposition your mandible to prevent/reduce snoring.
