What are sleep apnea and oral appliance therapy?
For people who have mild to moderate sleep apnea, dental appliances can help alleviate the problem. Dental appliances or oral mandibular devices can prevent the tongue from blocking the throat. They can do this by moving the lower jaw forward, helping to open the airway during sleep. A dentist and sleep specialist can help determine if this treatment will work for you. Allure Dental Care works with issues of obstructive sleep apnea, issues concerning the posture of the tongue, and interceptive early orthodontics. If you wish to learn about these and other oral care, please call. We will be very glad to help. We serve patients from Mountain View CA, Sunnyvale CA, Los Altos CA, Stanford CA, Menlo Park CA, Atherton CA, Loyola CA, Cupertino CA, Palo Alto CA, Redwood City CA and surrounding Bay Area Cities.
