Snoring & Sleep Apnea
We improve airway obstruction during sleep using oral appliance (OA) therapy to enhance sleep quality
SNORING & SLEEP APNEA
Snoring is not just a habit.
It is your airway being blocked during sleep.
Sleep apnea is a condition where the airway narrows during sleep, causing breathing to stop repeatedly. Left untreated, it can lead to cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. Our oral medicine clinic uses oral appliances (OA) to open the airway and improve sleep quality.
WHY TREAT
Problems caused by leaving it untreated
Sleep apnea directly affects overall health.
Poor Sleep Quality
Frequent awakenings and lack of deep sleep lead to chronic fatigue and reduced concentration.
Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Repeated oxygen drops increase the risk of hypertension, arrhythmia, and stroke.
Metabolic Disorders
Blood sugar regulation during sleep breaks down, often associated with diabetes and obesity.
Partner Sleep Disruption
Sleep disturbance extends to family members sleeping nearby, negatively affecting relationships.
INDICATION
Oral Appliance: Suitable for These Cases
Snoring without sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea with AHI 5–30
Severe OSA patients who gave up on CPAP
Cases where bruxism and snoring occur together during sleep
ORAL APPLIANCE
Oral Appliance (OA) Therapy
A custom device that holds the mandible forward to keep the airway open.
01
Airway Opening Principle
The mandible is repositioned forward to widen the airway and prevent the tongue and soft palate from blocking it during sleep.
02
Custom Fabrication
Precisely fitted using an oral scan of the teeth. High wearability leads to strong patient compliance.
03
Alternative or Adjunct to CPAP
An effective first-line alternative for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP and those with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
04
Regular Adjustment & Follow-up
The mandibular advancement is adjusted incrementally to balance effectiveness with TMJ side effects.
