Sleep Apnea & Oral Appliance Therapy
Sleep Apnea & Oral Appliance Therapy
If you've been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, you have more options than ever. At Sleep Well East Tennessee, we specialize in oral appliance therapy — a comfortable, custom-fit device worn during sleep that gently positions your jaw to keep your airway open. It's a proven sleep apnea treatment option for many patients, and it can be a game-changer for those who struggle with CPAP.
Who Is Oral Appliance Therapy For?
Designed for adults with mild to moderate sleep apnea, as well as those with severe sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP. Heavy snorers are also great candidates.
What Happens If Sleep Apnea Goes Untreated?
Untreated sleep apnea puts a serious strain on your cardiovascular system, increasing risks of high blood pressure, stroke, and mood issues.
Snoring & Airway Treatment
Snoring & Airway Treatment
Snoring isn't just a nuisance — it may be a sign that your airway is narrowing during sleep. Our snoring and airway treatment focuses on opening that airway, either with an oral appliance or with other conservative therapies. Many patients find that treating snoring also improves their sleep quality and daytime energy. If your snoring is keeping you or your partner awake, we can help. Learn more about our approach to snoring and airway treatment.
By opening the narrowed nasal or oral path, we restore quiet breathing, bringing deep peace back to your bedroom.
TMJ & Related Conditions
TMJ & Related Conditions
Your jaw joint and airway are closely connected. Tension in the jaw, teeth grinding (bruxism), and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can all affect how you breathe at night. Our TMJ therapy addresses these issues, often reducing or eliminating related sleep problems. Explore the connection and our TMJ services.
Aligning the temporal-mandibular joint stabilizes the upper airway and mitigates teeth grinding / nighttime jaw clenching.
Diagnostic Technology
Diagnostic Technology
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. We use in-office cone beam CT (3D imaging), digital X-rays, and digital impressions to get a complete picture of your airway and oral anatomy. This technology allows us to precisely design your oral appliance for maximum comfort and results, without the need for messy impressions.
