Dr. Slavin and Dr. Burns utilize several different sleep guard designs. They can select the one most appropriate for you, including those people who have full dentures.

HOW DO SLEEPGUARD ORAL APPLIANCES WORK?
By repositioning the tongue and lower jaw forward, the Posterior Airway Space is increased. The muscles of the tongue as well as the palate tighten, and the end result is that with an oral appliance in place, snoring and apnea can be managed without masks or hoses.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recently published a position paper on the use of oral appliances in the treatment of sleep apnea. (Reference Sleep, February 2006). Sleep guard oral appliances can be used as a first line of therapy for mild to moderate sleep apnea, as well as for people who are severe who have failed CPAP or simply prefer an oral appliance to CPAP.
