Sleep Soundly Once Again

Once you get the care you need, you can sleep soundly once again and minimize your risk of future health complications due to obstructive sleep apnea.

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.
