Dentists Fight Sleep Apnea Too

Dentists Fight Sleep Apnea Too

Did you know there are thousands of dentists trained to help treat and manage your snoring and sleep apnea? The American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) is an association of dentists who help patients control obstructive sleep apnea and snoring through the use of oral appliance therapy (OAT). If you have trouble tolerating Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and need an effective alternative for living with sleep apnea, talk to an AADSM dentist today about how OAT can help you get a good night’s rest.

Oral appliance therapy (OAT) is a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and an effective alternative treatment to CPAP. Administered by a dentist, oral appliance therapy uses a custom-fit “mouth guard-like” device worn only during sleep to maintain an open, unobstructed airway. The following short video provides a brief overview of the fitting process for oral appliances. Read more about oral appliance therapy in the Oral Appliances section of the Dental Sleep Medicine Dictionary.
