Sleep Apnea is a serious condition that can cause heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Sleep apnea is a common disorder that affects how you breathe while sleeping. During the night, your brain tells your body to take a breath every time it detects that you have stopped breathing for 10 seconds or more. But if something is blocking the airway (like fat deposits in the back of the throat), those signals don’t make it through properly — so you miss out on some of those breaths and keep snoozing on through!
This lack of proper oxygen flow can lead to serious health problems: high blood pressure; irregular heartbeat; memory loss; depression; weight gain the list goes on! So if this sounds like something you might be experiencing during sleep. Call us at (701) 207-8289, so we can help!
Mouth devices are one of the safest, most effective ways to treat sleep apnea.
They’re a great alternative to CPAP and can be used for many years.
Mouth devices are easy to use, comfortable, and discreet. They do not require any external power source or special equipment like a CPAP machine. These devices work by gently pushing air into your throat through a thin tube that attaches under your nose or inside your mouth behind your teeth (called an oral appliance). This helps keep the airway open, so you don’t experience as much obstruction during sleep as when you have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

FAQs
1. What are Mouth Devices for Sleep Apnea?
Mouth devices are small, thin appliances that sit inside the mouth and help people with sleep apnea breathe more easily. These devices are sometimes called mandibular advancement devices or mandibular repositioning devices, and they’re designed to move your upper jaw forward by about 0.5 cm (or about 1/4 inch). This helps you keep your airway open during sleep.
2. Will my dentist/doctor recommend a mouth device?
Some dentists and doctors will recommend these devices, but it depends on your health insurance coverage and how much money you want to spend. Not all insurance companies will cover this type of treatment; some may only cover it if you have a lot of money saved (like $2,000). For this reason, it’s important to ask your dentist or doctor whether they can refer you to someone who can help you find the right treatment plan for your needs at an affordable price.
3. What are the benefits of using a mouth device?
