Sleep Wellness Solutions: Transforming Your Sleep Quality at Goodall Family Dentistry

Snoring is caused by a partial obstruction of the airway, resulting in turbulent airflow and tissue vibration. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) occurs when soft throat tissue relaxes during sleep, blocking the airway, leading to breathing pauses and oxygen level drops. These conditions disrupt sleep cycles and can have severe health consequences if left untreated.

We offer several treatment options for our patients:

• Preventive Solutions: Our preventative solution is designed for kids as young as 3. In Western cultures, over 80% of children have crooked or crowded teeth. Instead of waiting to correct this with orthodontics, we can now intervene early to guide teeth into the right position. This not only ensures proper alignment but also improves sleep quality, concentration, and reduces symptoms of ADD, ADHD, and bed-wetting.

• Management Solutions: Our management solutions are designed for adults diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). These appliances are worn at night to comfortably position the lower jaw forward, helping to keep the airways open during sleep.

• Rehabilitation Solutions: We offer Oral Appliance Therapy using the Daytime Nighttime Appliance (DNA) series from VIVOS Therapeutics. This non-surgical, non-invasive, and pain-free treatment reshapes jaw bones, improving airway development and reducing symptoms associated with underdeveloped airways and sleep/breathing problems. Unlike repositioning appliances, the DNA appliance reshapes jaws, improving breathing both day and night. It enhances facial appearance, combats bite problems like TMJ, and offers an alternative to traditional treatments like CPAP machines, surgery, and Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) which may have drawbacks or limited effectiveness.

Traditional Treatments:

CPAP machines provide pressurized air to bypass airway obstructions but can be noisy and uncomfortable. Surgeries like Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and Bimaxillary Advancement involve tissue removal or jaw repositioning, with associated risks and recovery periods. Surgically inserted devices like the Inspire Device also have drawbacks, including sleep disruption, potential impacts on dental health, and a high cost!
