SLEEP APNEA
Sleep apnea is a condition whereby a person’s breathing is interrupted while sleeping – with the potential to affect anyone at any age, including children. There are two types of sleep apnea, obstructive or central, both of which can be diagnosed by a healthcare provider. Fortunately, there are a number of solutions, including breathing devices, lifestyle interventions, mouthpieces, or surgery. We, at Boston Dental, create custom sleep apnea and dental devices to help relieve snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea. These devices, designed by specially trained doctors, work by keeping the airway open during sleep and help the patient to breathe easier for a restful night’s sleep. We implement the most cutting-edge technology in order to execute a well-fitting device and provide our patients with more ease and comfort.

QUESTIONS
Sleep apnea occurs when a person’s breathing is disrupted during sleep due to blocked airways. There are two types of sleep apnea: obstructive and central.
Sleep apnea is considered serious. If left untreated or undiagnosed, it can lead to serious complications such as heart attack, glaucoma, diabetes, cancer, or cognitive and behavioral disorders.
Boston Dental uses the latest 3D scanners, including Dental Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology to generate 3D images of our patients’ dental structures, soft tissue, nerve pathways, and bones – all in a single scan. The CBCT produces accurate, high-quality imagery enabling our dentists to execute more precise treatment planning.
We also use modern wireless digital impression technology. Our dentists use 3D wireless dental scanners to digitally capture every aspect of our patients’ teeth for highly accurate, quick, and high-quality impressions.
The devices that we construct work to relieve snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea. By moving the tongue or lower jaw forward and upward, it increases the size of the upper airway enabling the patient to breathe. These devices are designed specifically by dentists with special expertise in treating sleep apnea.
