Sleep Apnea - Woodbury, MN

Most patients who have sleep apnea utilize a CPAP machine, which continually pushes air through their airway while they sleep. However, this is often cumbersome, noisy and uncomfortable for patients and many find they are CPAP intolerant. Our prosthodontist Dr. Wilhelm offers a solution with oral appliance mandibular advancement devices. These are customized mouthguards that adjust your jaw to the most ideal position, moving the soft tissues away from the airway and allowing for proper breathing. These oral appliances are small, allowing you to sleep without machines while still promoting proper breathing. Dr. Wilhelm creates these oral appliance sleep apnea treatments unique for each patient. Your mouthguard will fit comfortably in your mouth thanks to the digital images we capture that help us create an ideal fit. While wearing this device you will sleep better, be more rested in the morning and ease your snoring—ultimately improving your quality of life and your health!
