 Office Hours Monday – Thursday 8am – 5pm  362 New Byhalia Rd. Suite 3 Collierville, TN 38017  Collierville Dental Sleep Medicine 901-853-8116  Oral Appliances are acrylic devices worn over the upper and lower teeth, similar to an orthodontic retainer or mouth guard. Worn during sleep, oral appliances prevent the soft tissues of the throat from collapsing and obstructing the airway. The appliances move the lower jaw slightly forward, bringing the base of the tongue with it, opening the airway to allow improved breathing, reduced snoring and fewer apnea events during sleep. Oral appliances can be used alone or in conjunction with other means of sleep apnea therapy such as continuous positive air pressure (CPAP). Determination of proper therapy can only be made by joint consultation between Dr. Blanton and your sleep physician. Dr. Blanton has experience with several oral appliances which are all FDA approved for the treatment of Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. At Collierville Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Blanton will assess which device will offer the best chance for success in each individual patient.   Oral Appliance Overview 901-853-8116   |
