Oral Appliances
One of our goals at Advanced Family Dentistry is to provide the most conservative treatment possible for every situation. Oral appliances offer simple, non-invasive treatment for a variety of conditions. Every appliance we prescribe is custom-crafted just for you, and can provide the security and confidence you've been looking for, all while correcting your dental issues.
Whether we're treating nighttime sleep grinding, a diagnosed case of obstructive sleep apnea, bite problems, or other jaw joint disorders, appliance therapy may be a valuable complement to your treatment. We use a variety of innovative designs depending on treatment goals and your preferences.
Sleep Apnea
The overall health of our patients is extremely important to us, and your sleep plays a large role. Many people suffer from disruptive sleep disorders, depriving them from getting oxygen. The risk of a heart attack is 23 times more likely to happen in patients with a sleep disorder, While 92% of stroke victims live unknowingly with Sleep Apnea, causing their stroke.

The Vivos System
The Vivos System is a non-surgical appliance-based therapy that addresses the underlying cause of obstructive sleep apnea. Unlike a CPAP machine, the Vivos System offers permanent relief from mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea caused by jaw malformations such as maxillary hypoplasia and mandibular retrognathia.
