Feel Better Soon With Custom Sleep Apnea Solutions

This oral appliance is for sleep apnea and snoring. The Vivos DNA appliance is a special epigenetic orthodontic therapy designed to treat sleep apnea.

You want to be as healthy as possible, so you probably do your best to maintain a balanced diet and to stay active. But despite all your efforts, you could be facing a silent yet potentially dangerous health threat without even knowing it. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition that causes your airway to partially collapse while you’re sleeping, causing you to snore loudly or even stop breathing. When your airway collapses, your body responds with a snore that temporarily wakes you. These sleeping and breathing disruptions, which sometimes last up to a minute, can occur frequently throughout the night. This makes it impossible for your body to get the deep rest it needs.

Often people aren’t even aware they have this condition. Over 23 million adults in the U.S. are undiagnosed with sleep apnea. The first sign is usually snoring, but more severe symptoms include daytime fatigue, irritability, inability to concentrate, and higher blood pressure. This sleep disorder has been linked to greater incidence of stroke or heart attacks.

We can help you sleep better and feel more energized through airway-focused dentistry!

If you experience fatigue, snoring, waking up in the middle of the night, or stop breathing, we can help you. Dr. Chan is also a certified Vivos provider, specially-trained to use a unique, comfortable, non-invasive therapy that improves sleep quality, significantly reduces symptoms associated with sleep apnea, and enhances health and quality of life through helping patients breathe better.

If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and wish to have an alternative therapy to CPAP, we can help you. If needed, we can also arrange you to be tested for sleep apnea in the comfort of your own home through the use of a special ring that connects to an app on your phone through Bluetooth. We also accept Medicare and can bill medical insurances for sleep apnea treatment.

Choose a Convenient, Comfortable Alternative to a CPAP

We can arrange for sleep studies that can be done from the comfort of your own home, testing on multiple days for a more accurate diagnosis while avoiding the “first night effect” that can lead to problems being undetected. Along with a sleep test, your dentist looks for other signs of sleep apnea: crowded teeth, narrow arches, mouth breathing, and teeth grinding/clenching.

We use Vivos technology. This epigenetic system:

  • Treats the root cause of sleep apnea, the underdevelopment of the upper jaw
  • Is offered by fewer than 20 dentists in the Phoenix metropolitan area
  • May eliminate the need to wear any device at night following your Vivos treatment

Oral appliances are a hassle-free alternative to a traditional CPAP. In 2015, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine issued an updated recommendation for the use of oral appliances if you wish to use this affordable, user-friendly option or have tried a CPAP and were unable to use it for one reason or another.

With a custom-made mandibular advancement device, you can enjoy:

  • Easy Breathing – Your airway is kept open while you sleep for easy, consistent breathing.
  • Deeper Sleep – Without constant breathing disruptions, you’ll be able to reach a deeper state of sleep.
  • Quiet Nights – You and your spouse won’t be disturbed by a noisy machine or your loud snoring.
  • Convenient Use – The device is compact, comfortable, and effective. Since it doesn’t require power and is very compact, it is easy to transport and ideal for adults who love to travel.

Your loved ones may also benefit from an oral appliance. If you have an athlete in the family, bring them to us to be fitted for a custom mouthguard. You can also find relief from headaches and prevent teeth grinding with a similar appliance for TMJ disorders.

Call 480-897-2274 today for an appointment at Tempe Dentistry. You can also schedule online. It’s time to start feeling and living better by treating your sleep apnea in Tempe, AZ.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea
What is sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects tens of millions of Americans. People who have sleep apnea can stop breathing hundreds of times each night. This condition can increase your risk of everything from high blood pressure to heart attacks and being in car accidents. The most common form of this disorder is obstructive sleep apnea, which your dentist here at Tempe Dentistry can help you treat.

Why is sleep apnea bad?

Sleep apnea is a serious condition because it interrupts critical airflow while sleeping. It can leave you feeling lethargic during the day and interfere with your work productivity and your personal life. In addition, sleep apnea has also been linked to several serious health conditions like high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression.

How is sleep apnea treated?

CPAP therapy is often the first recommended treatment for sleep apnea. While CPAP is effective, many people have trouble getting used to having air blown through their mouth and nose. A good alternative treatment option is a custom-fit sleep appliance. It will fit comfortably in your mouth while you sleep, gently moving your lower jaw forward to keep your air passages open.
