Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment
Get Better Sleep With Custom Oral Appliances
Better Sleep Without a CPAP
If you've been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea—or you simply can't tolerate your CPAP—a custom oral appliance may be the solution. These small, comfortable devices gently reposition your lower jaw to keep your airway open while you sleep.
Dr. Wei works with your sleep physician to determine whether an oral appliance is appropriate for your case. We take precise impressions and adjust the fit until you're sleeping soundly and waking refreshed.
Treat Sleep Apnea With Custom Oral Appliances
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder affecting millions of Canadians. If left untreated, it increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and sudden cardiac death.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the airway collapses during sleep, blocking airflow and causing oxygen levels to drop. Your brain wakes you to resume breathing—often dozens of times per night—preventing restorative deep sleep.
Many sleep apnea sufferers don't realize they have the condition. Symptoms are often dismissed as age-related fatigue or attributed to other causes: daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and reduced sex drive.
At BluSky Dental Centrepointe, we can help. If you've been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea and cannot tolerate a CPAP machine, a custom oral appliance may be the perfect solution.
Oral Appliance Therapy: A mandibular advancement device (MAD) is a custom-fitted appliance that gently holds your lower jaw forward, opening your airway and preventing collapse during sleep. The appliance is small, discreet, and much more comfortable than a CPAP mask.
FADA-Approved Effectiveness: Clinical research demonstrates that oral appliances are highly effective for mild to moderate sleep apnea, reducing apnea events by 50-70%. Many patients experience immediate symptom improvement.
Custom Fabrication: We take precise impressions and impressions of your bite to custom-fabricate an appliance that fits perfectly and positions your jaw optimally. This ensures comfort and effectiveness.
Titration & Follow-up: We work with your sleep medicine physician to ensure proper appliance positioning and therapeutic benefit. Adjustments can be made to optimize your results.
Benefits of treatment are dramatic: improved sleep quality, increased daytime energy, better concentration, reduced blood pressure, and decreased risk of cardiovascular events. Many patients report that treatment has transformed their quality of life.
If you suspect you have sleep apnea, ask your doctor for a sleep study referral. Once diagnosed, we can help you explore oral appliance therapy as an effective, comfortable treatment option.
