Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for your health, energy, and overall well-being. But for millions of people, issues like snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) make restful sleep feel out of reach. The good news? You don’t have to rely on bulky machines or invasive treatments. At Topsail Dental, we offer a simple, effective solution: custom sleep device therapy.
What Is Sleep Device Therapy?
Sleep device therapy uses a small, custom-made oral appliance that you wear while you sleep. These devices, known as mandibular advancement devices (MADs) or tongue retaining devices (TRDs), are designed to gently reposition your jaw or tongue to keep your airway open during sleep. The result? Better breathing, fewer interruptions, and more restful sleep.
Unlike CPAP machines, these devices are:
They're especially ideal for people with mild to moderate OSA or those who snore regularly but don't want to deal with masks or machines.
How Does It Work?
The goal is to keep your airway open all night long. Here's how each device helps:
Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs): These move your lower jaw slightly forward, preventing your tongue and soft tissues from collapsing into your throat.
Tongue Retaining Devices (TRDs): These hold your tongue in place to stop it from falling back and blocking airflow.
This approach can significantly reduce or eliminate snoring and sleep apnea events, helping you sleep more deeply and wake up refreshed.
Conditions We Treat
Snoring: While often dismissed as harmless, chronic snoring can disrupt your sleep and your partner’s, and may signal an underlying problem like sleep apnea.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): A serious condition where your airway repeatedly becomes blocked during sleep, causing breathing to stop temporarily. If untreated, OSA can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems, fatigue, and even stroke.
