Improve Your Sleep with Oral Appliances
Finding the right treatment for sleep apnea is an important step in improving overall health and preventing major health risks. At Jennifer Buchanan, DDS, we use oral appliances as an effective treatment for patients who have tried CPAP but it hasn’t quite worked for them. Dr. Buchanan works with local health professionals and general physicians to restore breathing patterns and prevent potential damage to patient’s health.
Oral appliances are an innovative alternative to CPAP machines, smaller and custom-made to fit each individual and their distinct needs. Although they are generally prescribed to patients with mild-to-moderate sleep apnea, oral appliances have also helped relieve symptoms for severe sufferers and can also work simultaneously with CPAP if necessary. Our patients love these dental mouthguards because of their convenience, comfort, and easy use.
Note: Not every patient is a good candidate for all types of oral appliances and is why being evaluated by a TMJ specialist is important to preserving the health of your jaw.
“Spectacular!! What a gift of a doctor! Jennifer is caring, gentle, funny and highly knowledgeable. She is the first person to help my apnea– ever! I have never slept better in my life and I have more energy and do not feel so depressed. She is a specialist in fitting oral appliances and really knows her stuff. Thank you, Dr. Buchanan!”
