Innovative Sleep Apnea Treatment Utilising Oral Appliances by Dr Erin Sundt

Waterford Dental Arts is pleased to announce the pioneering work of Dr Erin Sundt in the field of sleep apnea treatment. Dr Sundt’s approach that utilizes oral appliance therapy has reportedly brought relief and enhanced the quality of life for numerous patients grappling with this potentially serious sleep disorder.

Alternative Treatment for Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea affects millions of people worldwide, disrupting sleep patterns and presenting significant health risks. While Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines have traditionally been the primary treatment method, many patients find them uncomfortable and inconvenient, leading to poor compliance and suboptimal outcomes.

Recognizing the need for a patient-centered solution, Dr Erin Sundt advocates for an alternative treatment: oral appliance therapy. By customizing oral appliances for each individual, Dr Sundt has successfully aided many patients in finding respite from the debilitating symptoms of sleep apnea, says a press release.

Customised Oral Appliance Therapy 

Oral appliance therapy involves wearing a specialized device, similar to a mouthguard, during sleep. These appliances are designed to reposition the jaw, tongue, and soft tissues, effectively keeping the airway open and preventing breathing interruptions associated with sleep apnea. Sundt’s personalized approach ensures that each patient receives an appliance tailored to their unique anatomy for increased comfort and effectiveness.

Through her expertise in dental sleep medicine and unwavering commitment to ongoing research and technology, Dr Sundt has achieved remarkable results in sleep apnea treatment. Patients have reported significant improvements in sleep quality, reduced daytime fatigue, and overall well-being. Furthermore, oral appliance therapy can serve as an alternative for individuals who struggle with CPAP machines.
