How is Sleep Apnea Diagnosed?

Diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) requires assessment by a medical professional, prompting individuals to consult their primary care physician for a comprehensive sleep evaluation. Upon evaluation, the primary care provider may diagnose the condition or make a referral to a sleep specialist for further assessment. The diagnostic process typically involves undergoing a sleep evaluation, which may entail an overnight sleep test at a designated sleep center or a home sleep apnea test (HSAT). Subsequently, a sleep specialist will analyze the data obtained from the sleep test to ascertain the presence or absence of OSA based on the comprehensive evaluation and test results.

Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)

At Amelia Gentle Dentistry, we provide custom-fit oral appliances to enhance your sleep quality and revitalize your health. Our team is well-versed in Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT), offering a non-invasive solution for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. These oral appliances, resembling orthodontic retainers, are designed to support the jaw in a forward position during sleep, thereby keeping the upper airway open to prevent snoring and sleep apnea episodes. By crafting custom-made oral appliances tailored to your mouth’s unique structure, our team ensures comfort, ease of wear, portability, and simple maintenance.
