Oral Sleep Appliance Device Rock Hill SC
Oral Sleep Appliance That May Help With Sleep Apnea for Patients in Rock Hill, SC
Tired of dealing with CPAPs? Seeking an alternative sleep apnea treatment that’s a little more personalized? You’re in the right place. Culp Dental is a premier dental practice located in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and we are excited to introduce a groundbreaking development in treating snoring and sleep apnea: our new Mandibular Advancement Device. These devices are crafted in our own lab, ensuring each oral sleep appliance is tailored to the individual patient’s needs.
Understanding Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, are caused by the narrowing or total closure of the airway during sleep. While snoring is usually no more than an annoyance for the unlucky soul who shares a room with you, obstructive sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that results in reduced oxygen levels and can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, acid reflux, depression, and sometimes even a heart attack or stroke. Sleep apnea may also have a negative consequence on other medical conditions because of the drops in oxygen.
While obstructive sleep apnea generally does not have a cure, it may be treated through the use of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine. These devices provide mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open while you sleep.
What Are Oral Sleep Appliances?
An oral sleep appliance is a potential alternative to the traditional CPAP machine, particularly for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea. Culp Dental’s innovative Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is a custom-fitted sleep apnea treatment that supports the jaw in a forward position to maintain an open upper airway. By moving the jaw and tongue forward, our device reduces throat constriction during sleep and prevents snoring. Unlike CPAP machines, MADs are portable and quiet. They are more affordable and don’t require electricity. However, this oral sleep appliance won’t work for everyone.
