Avoid Permanent Side Effects of OSA

Avoid Permanent Side Effects of OSA

The Two Main Side Effects of Oral Appliance Therapy:

1. The teeth moving apart, resulting in spaces between the teeth

2. The lower jaw moving in to a different position that results in teeth not lining up anymore

Every night before bed you should tap your teeth together to make sure that your bite ALWAYS FEELS THE SAME BEFORE BED.  If you feel that your teeth are not coming together the way they used to (usually meaning that your back teeth don’t touch as well), and this occurs for a day or two, GIVE US A CALL.

Before Bed Alignment Check

*You can speed up the process of aligning your bite each morning with simple stretching exercises or using the “AM Aligner” that you were given.

*If you ignore these simple steps you could have permanent changes to your teeth or bite that may require correction at additional costs, or could result in damage to and/or pain in your teeth or jaws.  

Should you have any questions at all, please call us.
