What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), happens when the muscles in your throat relax and block your airway. This can lead to symptoms such as:

  • Loud snoring
  • Waking up gasping for air
  • Morning headaches
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability

Beyond the immediate symptoms, untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

Ditch the CPAP Machine for a Comfortable Alternative

For years, the go-to treatment for sleep apnea has been the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine. While effective, many people find it difficult to use — the mask can be uncomfortable and restrictive, and the machine noisy and inconvenient.

At Maple Leaf Dental, we offer a modern, discreet solution: the SomnoMed oral appliance. This FDA-approved device is a small, custom-fit mouthguard, similar to a sports mouthguard or orthodontic retainer. It works by gently moving your jaw forward to keep your airway open while you sleep, allowing for continuous, uninterrupted breathing.

The Benefits of an Oral Appliance for Sleep Apnea

  • Comfortable: No more masks, hoses, or noisy machines. The SomnoMed appliance is small and custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly.
  • Convenient: Portable and easy to clean, making it ideal for travel.
  • Effective: Clinically proven, FDA-approved treatment for sleep apnea.
  • A Fresh Start: Forget about that “awful, dirty, disgusting CPAP machine” — our oral appliance is a clean and simple solution.
