What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and restarts during sleep, depriving the body of oxygen.
When left untreated, it increases the risks of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Some common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
  • Loud snoring with gasping or choking
  • Daytime fatigue or falling asleep unintentionally
  • Morning headaches or dry mouth
  • High blood pressure or irregular heart rhythms
  • Nighttime chest pain due to oxygen deprivation
Ignoring sleep apnea can jeopardize your heart, brain, and overall health. Book an appointment with Dr. Vaghari to assess your symptoms today. Early intervention can prevent irreversible damage. Schedule a sleep evaluation now at Laguna Dental Studio.

How Dental Appliances Treat Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea can be treated with both oral appliances and CPAP machines. Here are some dental appliances that are commonly used for mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA):
  • Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs): This device repositions the lower jaw forward to prevent airway collapse and has been proven to reduce apnea episodes by 50% in 70% of patients.
  • Tongue-Retaining Devices (TRDs): This bulb-shaped device holds the tongue forward during sleep to maintain airflow.
  • Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME): This custom-made cage is placed under the upper jaw to permanently expand the maxillary arch in children to improve breathing.
At Laguna Dental Studio, we offer multiple oral appliances for silent, travel-friendly relief from sleep apnea. Contact us today and discover our range of high-end dental appliances to reduce snoring and apnea episodes.

FAQs

Can oral appliances cure sleep apnea?

Yes, oral appliances like RMEs and MADs can cure mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in 77% of patients by repositioning the jaw to open airways. Severe cases may require combined therapies, but appliances offer non-invasive, long-term relief for most patients.

Do I need a sleep study first to treat sleep apnea?

Yes, polysomnography (sleep study) is crucial for diagnosing the severity and type of sleep apnea. Results guide treatment plans, allowing your dentist to prescribe oral appliances or CPAP as per your needs. Skipping this step risks ineffective or unsafe interventions.

How much does sleep apnea treatment cost?

Custom oral appliances for treating sleep apnea can cost between $500 to $1,500. A CPAP machine costs around $800–$1,500, while surgeries like hypoglossal nerve stimulation can exceed $20,000. Much of this cost can be covered by supported health insurances.

How long do sleep apnea dental appliances last?

Oral appliances can last 2 to 5 years with nightly use, annual adjustments, and proper cleaning and care. Avoid hot water and abrasive cleaners to prevent warping. Most clinics offer free adjustments to maintain efficacy.

Is sleep apnea curable?

While there is no single cure for sleep apnea, treatment can greatly reduce symptoms and health risks. Minor cases can be resolved with MAD and RME devices, while severe cases like enlarged tonsils or major jaw misalignment may require surgical correction. Lifestyle changes like losing weight loss and avoiding smoking/drinking before sleeping can also reduce symptoms.
