Breathe Better, Sleep Deeper, Live Healthier

Do you snore loudly, wake up tired, or feel drowsy during the day even after a full night’s rest? You might be suffering from sleep apnea, a serious condition that affects your breathing while you sleep. 

At Prime Smile Dental Clinic in Aurora, we offer custom-fit oral sleep appliances that help open your airway, reduce snoring, and restore restful sleep.

Our sleep appliance therapy is a non-invasive, comfortable alternative to CPAP machines, and it can make a life-changing difference in your health and energy.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much and block your airway.

These interruptions in breathing can happen dozens or even hundreds of times each night, reducing oxygen levels and disrupting your sleep cycle. Many people with sleep apnea are unaware they have it until a partner notices the symptoms.

Signs You May Have Sleep Apnea

• Loud, frequent snoring
  
  
• Gasping or choking sounds during sleep
  
  
• Daytime fatigue or drowsiness
  
  
• Morning headaches or dry mouth
  
  
• Difficulty concentrating
  
  
• Mood changes or irritability
  
  
• Waking up feeling unrefreshed
  
  

If these symptoms sound familiar, you should speak with your dentist or physician. Sleep apnea can affect people of any age or body type, and it can lead to serious health problems if left untreated.

How Can a Sleep Appliance Help?

A custom dental sleep appliance is a small, comfortable device that you wear while sleeping. It gently repositions your lower jaw and tongue forward to keep your airway open, allowing for uninterrupted breathing throughout the night.

This treatment is ideal for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea or for those who cannot tolerate CPAP machines. Many people also use it for simple snoring relief.

Benefits of sleep appliance therapy include:

• Better sleep quality
  
  
• Reduced snoring
  
  
• Increased energy and focus
  
  
• Improved oxygen levels
  
  
• Convenient, portable, and easy to maintain
  
  
• Non-invasive and comfortable to wear
  
  

Our Process at Prime Smile Dental Clinic

1. Consultation and Screening

We begin with a comprehensive consultation, where we review your sleep patterns, symptoms, and medical history. If you haven’t been formally diagnosed, we may refer you to a sleep physician for a home sleep test or polysomnography.

2. Custom Appliance Design

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we take detailed impressions of your teeth and jaw to design a custom-fitted appliance that suits your bite and breathing needs.

3. Fitting and Adjustment

When your device is ready, we ensure a proper fit and show you how to use and care for it. We may schedule follow-up visits to make small adjustments and check your progress.

4. Ongoing Support

We provide long-term follow-up to monitor your symptoms, ensure your appliance remains effective, and help you maintain good oral health while using the device.
