Sleep Dentistry: A Modern Approach to Better Sleep and Oral Health

Sleep dentistry is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing and treating sleep-related breathing disorders, such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our doctors are trained in this area use advanced technology and custom appliances to improve airway health and enhance sleep quality.

One of the most critical aspects of sleep dentistry is airway assessment, which can be performed using a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. This 3D imaging technology allows us to analyze the airway’s structure, identifying any obstructions or anatomical factors contributing to breathing difficulties during sleep. With precise visualization, treatment plans can be tailored to address each patient’s specific needs.

For patients needing orthodontic adjustments to improve their airway, Candid Pro aligners offer a discreet and effective solution. These clear aligners gradually shift the teeth into optimal positions, which can help open the airway and reduce the risk of snoring or sleep apnea. Unlike traditional braces, Candid Pro aligners provide a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing option for adults looking to enhance both their dental alignment and sleep quality.
