To receive an oral appliance here at Houston Sleep Apnea, we will first capture a digital impression of your teeth. This is a quick and safe process we perform to design a comfortable and secure oral appliance that will fit directly over your teeth while you sleep.

Digital impressions are a modern and precise method for capturing detailed images of your teeth and mouth. At our office, we use this advanced technology to enhance the process of creating custom oral appliances, especially for treating sleep apnea. Traditional impressions can be messy, uncomfortable and time-consuming. Digital impressions, on the other hand, are more efficient and provide a higher level of accuracy, ensuring that your oral appliance is customized to fit perfectly and function effectively.

One of the main advantages of digital impressions is the comfort they offer. If you have ever experienced a traditional mold, you may remember the discomfort of holding messy material in your mouth for extended periods. With digital impressions, that discomfort is eliminated. The scanning process is quick and minimally invasive, making it an ideal solution for patients who are prone to gagging or have sensitive gag reflexes.

Digital impressions also reduce the time spent in the dental chair. The process is faster than traditional methods, allowing us to obtain a complete image of your mouth in a matter of minutes. This not only improves the patient experience but also allows us to move forward more quickly with treatment plans, especially when crafting oral appliances for sleep apnea therapy.

Additionally, the accuracy of digital impressions ensures a better fit for your oral appliance. A properly fitted device can improve the effectiveness of sleep apnea treatment by keeping your airway open throughout the night. This precision leads to better long-term outcomes and more comfortable wear for patients.

If you are interested in learning more about digital impressions and how they can benefit your sleep apnea treatment, we encourage you to contact our office. We are committed to using the latest technology to provide the most comfortable and efficient care possible.
