Sleep apnea is the worst. It leaves you feeling exhausted all the time, and it can damage your physical and mental health. Here at Scioto Smiles, our dentist in New Boston, OH, can help! If you snore hard and struggle to sleep deeply, we can create a custom Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance that can keep your airway clear so you can breathe and finally fall into a healthy, deep sleep state.

1. What is a Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance?

This is a custom-made mouthguard that gently shifts your lower jaw forward and stabilizes the position of your tongue while you sleep. It’s a flexible, comfortable device that works well for patients who struggle to use a CPAP machine. In addition to preventing the airway occlusion that causes snoring, it can also stop nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism) that causes TMJ jaw pain.

2. How Do I Get a Sleep Apnea Mouthguard?

The first step is to schedule a sleep apnea treatment appointment with our Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance New Boston, OH dentist. We will discuss your medical history, sleep apnea diagnosis, and your symptoms.

Customization

Your Silent Nite® Sleep Appliance will be customized to fit your mouth, so we will do measurements and impressions. These will be sent to the lab, where they will design your customized sleep apnea dental appliance.

Fitting and Care Instructions

Once your sleep apnea appliance comes back from the lab, we will check that it fits you, make any adjustments necessary, and show you how to take care of the mouthguard. It should last for many years with the correct care.

Follow-Up Appointments

The team here at Scioto Smiles will also schedule a follow-up appointment so we can make sure your sleep apnea mouthguard is working well for you. Our patients typically report that they are getting much better sleep from using their Silent Nite® Sleep Appliances.
