Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that affects people of all ages. Breathing is interrupted during sleep and usually resumes with a deep gasp for breath. Throughout the night the diaphragm and chest muscles have to work harder to keep the airway open. This can interfere with restful sleep and affect oxygen intake and heart rhythm. When left untreated, sleep apnea can result in impairment, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.
Dental appliances can help treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. These devices help keep the airway open during sleep. This improves restfulness, alertness, and revitalizes your health. Each device is custom-made to fit over your teeth and support your jaw. Keep your airways open with an easy-to-wear and comfortable oral appliance.
NTI Nightguards
When teeth grinding or clenching becomes persistent a NTI appliance can protect your teeth. Bruxism and TMJ aggravate the jaw and can result in headaches, jaw pain, and sleep difficulty. NTI nightguards covers the front of the teeth, keeping the jaw open. These devices can offer immediate relief and reduce wear and tear to your enamel.
