Sleep Apnea & Snore Guards in NE Calgary

Breathe easier and sleep better with a custom fitted oral appliance.

Overview

A custom sleep apnea mouth guard can help you breathe easier and get better rest. At London Square Dental in NE Calgary, this oral appliance gently keeps your airway open, reducing snoring and improving oxygen flow while you sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP.

What Is Sleep Apnea, Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

  • Loud, disruptive snoring that affects your sleep or your partner's
  • Gasping or choking during sleep due to a blocked airway
  • Waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat
  • Daytime fatigue, trouble concentrating, or forgetfulness
  • Frequent headaches in the morning

If you experience these symptoms, a mandibular advancement device may help reposition your jaw and improve airflow.

How a Sleep Apnea Mouth Guard Works

A sleep apnea oral appliance is a custom fitted dental device that gently shifts the lower jaw forward, preventing soft tissues from collapsing and blocking your airway. This treatment is ideal for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea who want an alternative to CPAP therapy.

Why Choose a Mouth Guard Over a CPAP Machine

  • More comfortable, no bulky masks or noisy machines
  • Easy to use, simply wear it at night for a restful sleep
  • Portable and travel friendly, unlike a CPAP machine, it fits in your pocket
  • Proven to reduce snoring by keeping the airway open

Who Can Benefit from a Sleep Apnea Mouth Guard

  • Anyone with mild to moderate sleep apnea wanting an alternative to CPAP
  • Loud snorers or partners of someone who snores heavily

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your dentist will discuss your symptoms and may recommend a sleep study if one has not already been done to confirm your diagnosis. Impressions of your teeth are taken to custom fit your oral appliance, which is then adjusted at a follow up visit to make sure it fits comfortably and effectively.

Related Treatments

Many patients using a sleep apnea mouth guard also experience jaw tension, and TMJ Treatment can address that alongside your appliance. For those who grind their teeth at night without sleep apnea symptoms, Nightguards & Sports Guards may be the more appropriate solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do snore guards help with sleep apnea?
Snore guards help keep the airway open during sleep by gently repositioning the jaw, improving breathing and reducing snoring for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Is a sleep apnea mouth guard better than CPAP?
It depends on the severity of your sleep apnea and personal preference. A mouth guard is more comfortable and portable for mild to moderate cases, while CPAP is often still recommended for more severe obstructive sleep apnea.
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Common signs include loud snoring, waking up gasping for air, morning headaches, and daytime fatigue. If your partner notices you stop breathing during sleep, that is a strong indicator worth discussing with us or your doctor.
Will a snore guard shift my teeth?
A properly fitted, professionally made oral appliance is designed to minimize any impact on your teeth, and we monitor your fit at regular checkups to catch any changes early.
Do I need a sleep study before getting an oral appliance?
In many cases, yes, a sleep study helps confirm the diagnosis and severity of sleep apnea, which guides the right treatment approach. We can advise on next steps if you have not had one.
