Sleep Apnea & Snoring Therapy in Villa Park, IL
Custom oral appliances to help you breathe, sleep, and feel better.
Where Should I Start?
Snoring, nighttime gasping, and daytime fatigue may be signs of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Left untreated, sleep apnea can impact heart health, mood, and quality of life.
Dr. Leila Ahmadian provides custom oral appliance therapy for snoring and certain cases of sleep apnea, often in collaboration with your sleep physician.
During your initial visit, we will:
- Review sleep symptoms, medical history, and prior sleep studies
- Screen for risk factors and discuss whether a formal sleep study is needed
- Coordinate care with your sleep specialist when required
- Determine if an oral appliance is appropriate for your condition
What Happens During the Treatment Phase?
Diagnosis and prescriptions are coordinated with your sleep physician. If oral appliance therapy is appropriate, treatment typically includes:
- Digital scans are taken to design a custom oral appliance
- Your appliance is designed using dental CAD software
- The appliance is 3D printed with FDA-approved, durable materials to withstand clenching and grinding
- Appliance fit and comfort are verified at delivery
- Gradual adjustments optimize both comfort and airway support
- Ongoing monitoring of symptoms and comfort
- Follow-up sleep testing may be recommended to confirm effectiveness
