My spouse snores and keeps me up at night. I've heard that a dentist might be able to prescribe an appliance that prevents snoring. Can you help?
Certainly. We offer oral appliance therapy to alleviate snoring and sleep apnea. Your spouse will wear a small device that holds the mouth and throat open during sleep to optimize airflow and prevent snoring. These devices are easy to use, and we custom fit them to ensure optimal comfort. If you or your spouse snores, we suggest visiting us for an evaluation.
