What is oral appliance therapy?
It is a treatment that uses a small acrylic device fitted over the upper and lower teeth or tongue. An oral appliance looks much like an orthodontic retainer or mouth guard, but it is designed so that it advances the lower jaw or tongue forward to open the airway and improve breathing. These devices can be made only by a qualified dentist and Dr. Nippoldt is such a dentist. They are effective for treating people with snoring, mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, and in certain cases, those with severe obstructive sleep apnea. There are many different appliance designs available, and Dr. Nippoldt will customize the appropriate device for you. Most people find oral appliances to be a very comfortable solution to treating their snoring or sleep apnea. Dr. Nippoldt offers complimentary sleep apnea and snoring consultations. If you would like to know more about these procedures, please call 651-739-8573 or email Dr. Nippoldt today. We serve the St. Paul, Minneapolis, Woodbury, and Huds
