SLEEP APNEA DENTIST IN SCOTTSDALE

Scottsdale Spleep apnea dentist Dr.Mazaheri offers solutions to obstructed airway sleep apnea and snoring. Snoring often disrupts the sleep of those suffering from this condition as the airways  become obstructive. Sleeping involves states from light to deep and include relaxation of the tissues in the roof of the mouth, and throat that often partially block the airway and cause vibration. As the airway becomes more narrow the airflow becomes more forceful causing an increase in vibration and snoring to grow loud.

 

There are several factors that can lead to snoring. The anatomy of your sinuses, the mouth, body weight, alcohol use can all lead to obstructive sleep apnea.

 

 

The Tap appliance is among the most popular sleep apnea treatment in Scottsdale we offer. This device has excellent level of acceptance among our patients and with decades of research, and clinical compliance it remains highlight effective. The Tap appliance is well complied by many patients due to its custom fit and comfort compared to CPAP machines as it does not involve any masks or tubes.

 

Although the tolerance and compliance of the Tap appliance is very high, for those patients that do not tolerate the Tap and the CPAP machine  we offer a tongue stabilizing device that prevents vibration of the tongue and soft tissues during sleep. Please contact us for more information on this new alternative sleep apnea treatment in Scottsdale.
