Sleep Apnea Treatments in Mobile, AL

Sleep apnea is a common but potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night, often due to a blocked or collapsed airway. This can lead to loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and an increased risk of health issues like heart disease and high blood pressure. At Mobile Oral and Facial Surgery, Dr. Christopher Mullenix and Dr. Aaron Wallender offer dental solutions for obstructive sleep apnea, such as custom-fitted oral appliances that reposition the jaw to help maintain an open airway. These appliances provide a comfortable, noninvasive alternative to CPAP therapy and can significantly improve sleep quality and overall health. To learn more about sleep apnea treatments and if they might be right for you, contact our Mobile, AL office to schedule a consultation.

Sleep apnea can be effectively treated with oral appliances, particularly for individuals with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea or those who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. These custom-made dental devices are designed to be worn during sleep and work by repositioning the lower jaw slightly forward, which helps keep the airway open and prevents breathing interruptions. The treatment process begins with a thorough evaluation by one of our oral surgeons, who will take impressions of the patient's teeth to create a personalized appliance. After the device is fabricated, it is fitted and adjusted for comfort and effectiveness. Follow-up visits ensure proper fit and function, and periodic adjustments may be necessary for optimal results. Oral appliances for sleep apnea offer a comfortable, noninvasive alternative for managing sleep apnea.

Oral appliances deliver a number of benefits for individuals with sleep apnea, producing relief and comprehensively boosting health. Some benefits include:

  • Improved wellness
  • Reduced likelihood of car accidents and improved safety while driving
  • Reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure
  • Improved focus and alertness
  • Enriched mood stability
  • Less snoring, resulting in improved sleep quality
  • Boosted oxygen amounts in the body, leading to better organ function
  • Boosted vigor and minimized daytime tiredness
