Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea Treatment Cedar Valley IA Oral appliance therapy can be an effective treatment to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. An oral appliance is custom-fit, almost like a retainer that you wear while sleeping. It moves your jaw in a more forward position to keep your airway open. It can improve your sleep, reduce headaches, help you to feel more refreshed during the day, decrease or eliminate snoring, and improve your overall health.

Patients find that an oral appliance is comfortable and easy to wear. It can be a good alternative for patients that struggle with a CPAP or BiPAP machine.
