About this treatment
Sleep Apnea at Yes Dental
Sleep apnea causes your breathing to pause or become shallow while you sleep. It can leave you tired during the day and can disturb your partner with loud snoring.
For many patients, a custom oral appliance is a comfortable alternative to other treatments. It is worn during sleep and gently holds your jaw in a position that helps keep your airway open.
