Sleep Soundly With Sturgill Ortho
Are your current sleep apnea treatments failing to give you the results you want?
Are the masks cramping your lifestyle? At Sturgill Orthodontics, we have alternatives! Dr. Sturgill, Dr. Williams, and Dr. Harper offer sleep apnea treatment for our patients in Johnson City, TN and Norton, VA.
Stop Snoring
At Sturgill Orthodontics, we can treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliances like SomnoDent. This custom-fitted dental device is comfortable, durable and fantastic for stopping snoring and improving your sleep quality.
How SomnoDent® Works
It works by shifting your lower jaw into the proper position, relaxing the tissues at the back of the throat and keeping the base of the tongue from collapsing and blocking your airway.
We also have the expertise to offer permanent relief from obstructive sleep apnea by combining braces or Invisalign with a type of jaw surgery known as bimaxillary advancement.
This aligns the teeth and moves the jaws forward, creating more space in the dental arch and enlarging the airway so you can breathe easy.
Benefits of SomnoDent®
Easy to Use
One of the key benefits of SomnoDent is its comfort and ease of use. The appliance is custom-fitted, meaning it’s designed specifically for your mouth, ensuring a snug fit that minimizes discomfort.
Great for Travel
Unlike CPAP machines, which can be noisy and cumbersome, SomnoDent® is quiet, portable, and doesn’t require any electricity, making it a great option for frequent travelers.
Quick Maintenance
Another significant advantage is that it is easy to maintain and clean. Simply brush it like you would a retainer, and it’s ready for use again.
Improve Your Health
By effectively treating sleep apnea, SomnoDent can lead to a better night’s sleep, which in turn can improve your overall health. Patients often report feeling more rested, alert, and energized during the day, with a noticeable reduction in daytime drowsiness. Treating sleep apnea also lowers the risk of serious health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
