Sleep.
It’s the most important way to cleanse, refresh and restore the body.
In today’s busy world, it’s sometimes hard to get the required restful sleep that enhances daily life. In fact, many restless nights are caused by airway obstructions, and cause what Integrative Dentists like Dr. Elliott call, Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Some medical doctors refer patients to CPAP machines that force air into the lungs. These devices are filled with germs, must be properly maintained, are cumbersome, and frankly, most people stop using them because they can’t sleep with a huge headgear and tube strapped to them all night.
Integrative Dentists take a simplier approach. We can now make a small dental appliance that repositions the jaw and opens the airway, naturally. Many times this is enough to allow for natural airflow, and allows the patient to enjoy a restful, rejunative sleep. As compared to a CPAP machine, these appliances are inexpensive, and require only daily brushing of the appliance while you brush your teeth.
Highly effective. Affordable. Comfortable. Ask us if you are a candidate for an Obstructive Sleep Device to help you get the sleep you need!
