Sleep apnea is a disorder where normal breathing is interrupted during sleep. There are different types of sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common type of sleep apnea caused by the physical obstruction of the airway during sleep. This obstruction happens when there is relaxation of the airway structures, resulting in inadequate airflow. Tennessee Orofacial Pain offers non-surgical OSA treatment that opens the airway, restoring the ability to properly breath and get restful sleep. Highlights of treatment can be found below.

    Comfort

    Other treatment options are often intolerable. For any treatment to be effective, it needs to be usable. Our oral appliances are comfortable alternatives to CPAP and other therapies.

    Travel

    Traveling with a CPAP is not always the easiest. Our oral appliances are small enough to fit in a pocket and save you from having to pack an extra bag. Taking your oral appliance on the go is a breeze!

    Non-surgical

    Receiving effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea doesn’t necessarily require surgery. While surgery is a good option for some, there is inconvenience, cost, and risk that isn’t present with an oral appliance.
