Oral Appliances
We provide the best world-class treatment, service and care for all our patients.
Oral Prophylaxis
Oral appliances refer to devices that are worn in the mouth to treat various dental and medical conditions. They are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth and can be used to treat a variety of issues such as snoring, sleep apnea, bruxism (teeth grinding), TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and more.
Consultation
The first step is to consult with a dentist or a sleep specialist to determine if an oral appliance is the appropriate treatment for your condition.
Examination
The dentist or sleep specialist will examine your mouth, jaws, and airway to assess your condition and determine the appropriate type of oral appliance for you.
Impression
The dentist or sleep specialist will take an impression (mold) of your teeth and jaws to create a custom-fit oral appliance.
Fabrication
The impression will be sent to a dental lab where the oral appliance will be fabricated, typically taking a couple of weeks.
Fitting
Once the oral appliance is ready, the dentist or sleep specialist will fit it in your mouth and make any necessary adjustments for comfort and effectiveness.
Follow-up
After the fitting, the dentist or sleep specialist will schedule follow-up appointments to check on the fit and effectiveness of the oral appliance.
It’s important to note that oral appliances are not a one-time solution and need to be adjusted or replaced periodically as the patient’s bite and jaw changes over time. Regular check-ups with the dentist or sleep specialist are important to ensure the proper fit and effectiveness of the oral appliance and to detect any issues early on.
