SLEEP APNEA APPLIANCES AVAILABLE IN BARRIE

Sleep apnea is a serious problem for many residents of the Barrie area. Sleep apnea is not just a quality of life or sleep deprivation issue; it can lead to serious long-term health issues as well.

Fortunately, Dr. Adam Chapnick, Dr. Syed Rahman and the staff at Chapnick Dental Office can treat your sleep apnea and help you get the rest you need.

One of the most common ways of treating this condition is a sleep apnea appliance. We offer two different appliances, both of which can get you back to a healthy sleep.

Those appliances are:

• SomnoDent® MAS Device: Made by SomnoMed, this mouthguard-like device fits over your upper and lower teeth. Custom-made for your specific needs, this appliance holds your lower jaw forward, preventing the soft tissue in your throat from collapsing and obstructing your airway.
• Thornton Adjustable Positioner®: The TAP device serves the same purpose as the SomnoDent (keeping your lower jaw forward), but it keeps your upper and lower teeth together while you sleep. The TAP comes with a small key you can use to adjust your jaw position in order to achieve optimal comfort.

Dr. Chapnick or Dr. Rahman will determine which sleep apnea appliance is right for you.

If you live in the Barrie, Ontario area and you’re suffering from sleep apnea, please contact Chapnick Dental Office today.
