An oral appliance is a small acrylic device that fits over the upper and lower teeth or tongue (similar to an orthodontic retainer or mouth guard). This device slightly advances the lower jaw or tongue, which moves the base of the tongue forward and opens the airway. This improves breathing and reduces snoring and apnea. The appliance is fabricated and customized for each patient by a dentist experienced in the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. The appliances are comfortable and well tolerated by the patients. They are easy to place to clean and are convenient for travel.
Teeth Whitening Options: One of the options is using Zoom laser light. It is a simple, non-invasive procedure that usually takes between 45 minutes to an hour. The process combines a special lamp, referred to as a Zoom light or Zoom laser, with a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel. Using both, the dentist will bleach each tooth and produce a brighter smile by the end of the treatment.
Other options such as in-office bleaching or in-home bleaching kit would be consulted depending on teeth color and enamel condition.
