At Dentists at Woodway, we understand that snoring can be more than just a nightly nuisance — it can significantly impact your quality of life and overall health. Our commitment is to provide effective, non-invasive solutions tailored to individual needs, enhancing both sleep quality and general health.
Oral Appliances in Functional Medicine for Snoring
Oral appliances are a cornerstone of our functional medicine approach to treating snoring. These custom-fitted devices are designed to adjust the position of the jaw and tongue during sleep, thereby maintaining an open, unobstructed airway. This reduction in airway resistance is often crucial in alleviating snoring, offering a simple yet effective solution.
Our Approach Using Oral Appliances
Our treatment process includes:
- Individual Assessment: We begin with a detailed evaluation of your dental structure, sleep habits and lifestyle factors to determine the root cause of your snoring.
- Customized Oral Appliance Fitting: Based on the assessment, our dentist will design a personalized oral appliance. This device is tailored to fit comfortably and effectively, ensuring optimal results.
- Instruction and Guidance: Our team will provide you with comprehensive instructions on how to use and care for your oral appliance, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
- Follow-Up Care: We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, making any necessary adjustments to the appliance for continued comfort and effectiveness.
