At Dental Care of Morristown, we are offering sleep apnea consultations in 07960.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious disorder that causes patients to experience breathing that starts and stops repeatedly while they are sleeping. Most sleep apnea conditions are considered obstructive. This is due to the way the muscles surrounding the tongue and throat are relaxed during sleep. The relaxation of these muscles can cause the tissue to block airflow to the patient’s lungs. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, obstructive sleep apnea can pose serious risks in compromising patients’ breathing.

Where Can I Find Sleep Apnea Treatment Near You?

Our dentists at Dental Care of Morristown can treat patients with this sleep disorder by designing a dental appliance to improve their sleep quality. In general, patients are fitted with a mandibular advancement device that resembles a mouth guard. This device is intended for regular and long-term use in reducing the breathing risks associated with sleep apnea.

If you require this appliance, we can have it designed for you and ensure its fitted properly for effective treatment. The results are improved sleep quality and a lowered risk of compromised breathing to enhance the patient’s health.

The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which blocks the flow of air to your lungs. A few other symptoms include, but are not limited to:

• Daytime drowsiness
• Waking abruptly by gasping and/or choking
• A partner’s disturbed rest
• Excessive, unexplainable irritability and/or depression
• Hypertension
• Night sweats

Loud snoring is often one of the most complained about symptoms of sleep apnea. Nearly half of the American adult population suffer symptoms at some point in their lives with the majority of that population snoring on a regular basis. Sleep apnea is very common in men at any age and women who reach menopause age.

Dental Care of Morristown offers several treatment options to correct obstructive sleep apnea and beat snoring for good.

Our office’s main device is the ProSomnus EVO. It is an excellent next-generation dorsal-fin-style mandibular advancement device.

ProSomnus EVO Overview

A precision-milled, custom oral appliance for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring that uses a dorsal fin design with digitally milled hard-elastic materials.

Key design features

• Two-piece device: upper and lower arches interlock via bilateral dorsal fins for mandibular advancement.
• Digital precision: milled from medical-grade, BPA-free polymer (less bulk, smoother surface, strong but thin).
• Fixed-position EVO connectors with micro-adjustment capability—available in multiple advancement sizes for titration.
• Low-profile design: preserves tongue space and allows limited mouth opening and lateral movement.
• Optimized airflow: mandibular advancement opens the upper airway by repositioning the mandible and tongue base.

Clinical indications

• Mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
• Primary snoring
• CPAP-intolerant or non-compliant patients
• As a combination therapy with CPAP or positional therapy in select moderate–severe cases
