If you are plagued by sleep
apnea there is now no reason to wait for treatment, as your Glendora Dentist,Dr. Anna Lee is able to provide treatment options. The American Academy of
Sleep Medicine (AASM) has approved Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) as a first line
treatment for patients diagnosed with mild to moderate OSA. AASM recommends oral appliances for patients
with severe OSA, who are unable to tolerate or cannot wear Continuous Positive
Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices. Another option
for people with severe OSA is Combination Therapy (wearing CPAP and an oral
appliance together) to help reduce the pressure on a CPAP machine, making it
more comfortable to use.
Dr.Anna Lee is a dentist trained in sleep apnea who can assist you with
treatment. Dr. Lee conducts a full
evaluation of your teeth, mouth, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to ensure
that your teeth and jaw structure are healthy enough to wear an oral appliance.
Following the examination, you will have models of your teeth made and a
follow-up appointment is scheduled to fit your custom appliance.
Call Dr. Anna Lee at 626-335-5114 for more
information.
