Sleep Apnea Treatment in Pasadena
What are oral sleep
appliances?
Oral sleep appliances are an alternative to CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines for patients who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Sleep apnea is a very common sleep condition that affects millions of Americans. In the short term, OSA causes poor quality sleep. And in the long term, it can contribute to heart attacks, strokes, and lots of other serious health conditions. If you suspect you have obstructive sleep apnea, contact Blue Door Dental to schedule an appointment with your Pasadena dentist right away. The sooner you get treatment, the sooner you can sleep peacefully once again.

Types of Oral Sleep Appliances
Oral Mandibular Advancement Devices
Oral Mandibular Advancement Devices are a special type of night guard used in Oral Appliance Therapy (OSA). They are built to shift the jaw forward slightly when you sleep. This helps open up your airway, and prevents tissue from collapsing into your airway as you sleep.
This, in turn, prevents obstructive sleep apnea. If you have a mild-to-moderate case of OSA, OAT with an oral mandibular advancement device may be right for you. Schedule an appointment at Blue Door Dental in Pasadena, and Dr. Pacheco can discuss your case and whether or not you’re a good candidate for treatment with OSA.
