An Oral Appliance Is a CPAP Alternative

Obstructive sleep apnea is when your airway becomes blocked during sleep. It can cause breathing to stop repeatedly throughout the night. It's more than an inconvenience. If you have untreated sleep apnea, you face a higher risk of serious health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.

A CPAP machine has long been the standard treatment, but it's not the only option. Our team can design a custom oral appliance. Worn during sleep, it repositions your jaw to keep your airway open. During your checkup, we'll also ensure it stays intact and functional. It's a comfortable and practical alternative to treat sleep apnea in Leechburg.

More Comfortable

A custom oral appliance fits similar to an athletic mouthguard. It's less cumbersome than sleeping with a CPAP mask, so you can adjust to it quickly.

Quieter & Less Intrusive

CPAP machines produce constant noise and require managing a mask, tube, and machine during the night. An oral appliance is silent and stays out of your way.

Easy to Travel With

CPAP machines are bulky and require a power source, which complicates travel. An oral appliance fits in a small protective case that slips easily into a bag or coat pocket.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea

Q What is sleep apnea?

A

With obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form of the condition, the tongue and soft tissues in your throat relax during sleep and partially or fully block the airway. Breathing stops briefly, the brain registers the disruption, and the cycle repeats. In more severe cases, this can happen dozens of times per hour. It prevents your body from ever reaching deep, restorative sleep.

Q Why is sleep apnea bad?

A

When your airway closes during episodes of sleep apnea, your oxygen supply is briefly interrupted. This puts stress on your cardiovascular system over time. Untreated sleep apnea has been linked to serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Addressing it early can help your long-term health and quality of life.

Q How is sleep apnea treated?

A

We treat sleep apnea with a custom oral appliance worn during sleep. After taking impressions of your teeth, we have the appliance made to fit your mouth precisely. It works by gently shifting your lower jaw forward to keep your airway open throughout the night. Wearing it every night will lead to a significant reduction in snoring and other sleep apnea symptoms.

I’m new patient with Kiski Advanced Dentistry and can’t express how happy I am with just 2 visits. The office is clean, efficient and has state of the art equipment. The staff is really friendly and helpful. I had a fractured tooth and needed a crown. I was petrified to have an injection in my mouth. Dr. Resek has such a calming demeanor as well explaining everything in detail that when the time came my anxiety level went from a 10 to a 2. And I experienced minimal discomfort. What a gem we have with this practice in the heart of Allegheny Township. I highly recommend Kiski Advanced Dentistry!

I can honestly say that in my entire life I have never had such exceptional service and dental care from any dentist or oral surgeon.

I can honestly say that in my entire life I have never had such exceptional service and dental care from any dentist or oral surgeon. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Resek and his staff who actually take the time to talk to you and make sure you are getting the best care possible instead of having been made to feel like you are on an assembly line getting patients in and out as fast as possible with little, to no, communication. I only wish I had found them decades ago and it would have saved me so much pain and horrible dental work. Thank you everyone at Kiski Advanced Dentistry for everything.
