So sleep apnea is something that dentistry has stepped into more and more, and it’s something that we are proactive in screening for. And when patients report symptoms we’ve got solutions.
The CPAP is the standard way that sleep apnea has been treated and it works great. However, there’s a segment of the population who just will not tolerate wearing a mask in a hoisted bed. And for that, there’s something called a sleep apnea appliance, a mouth guard that treats it and we’re able to give them a solution that’s comfortable and much more portable and less intrusive.
And then we’ve found that this solution allows our patients to improve their overall health and they’re now resting better, they’re getting more oxygen in their blood, their body’s able to heal itself faster, and whatever underlying medical conditions they have they’re more able to heal.
Once they’ve adapted to their sleep apnea appliance, their sleep is better, their partner’s happier because they’re not snoring as loudly. Appliance is adjustable and we even teach the patients to adjust it themselves, so if they’re still snoring they can actually titrate the appliance themselves so that they can improve the results, and that’s one of the things we like about it.
So if you’re concerned about sleep apnea, we can take a CT image that actually can show your airway and show where the constrictions are. We can give you a home monitor that you’ll take home for one night and give us hard data as to how much you’re snoring, how many times an hour you’re stopping your breathing, so that will give us data that we can then proceed and give you the best treatment recommendations. Whether that’s a CPAP with your doctor or the sleep apnea appliance with us, we’re going to steer you in the right direction.

Manage Your Apnea With an Easy Oral Appliance
You may not realize you can bring up sleep problems at your dentist. However, Dr. Mueller can give you much-needed relief from your sleep apnea disorder. If you experience symptoms such as loud snoring, waking up gasping for air, daytime fatigue, or dry mouth, mention it at your next checkup. Your dentist can arrange for a sleep test that will confirm your diagnosis.
Once your condition has been confirmed, you’ll return to our office for a digital scan of your mouth. This information is sent out to an outside lab to create your custom sleep appliance. When you wear this device at night, it gently shifts your jaw forward to keep your airways open. You can expect numerous benefits from this condition in comparison to a CPAP machine:
- Simple to Use – CPAP machines can be complicated to set up and difficult to wear during the night. A sleep appliance is easy to use, making it a convenient addition to your nightly routine.
- Comfortable – Your oral appliance will fit your mouth perfectly. It’s custom-made just for you. You’ll barely recognize it’s there after just a few days of wearing it at night.
- Quiet – A sleep guard is discreet, allowing you and your partner to sleep peacefully without noise like you have with a CPAP.
- Travel-Friendly – If you travel, you’ll be happy to know your sleep guard is portable and easy to pack. Since no electricity or batteries are needed, you can use it anywhere.
Call 360-443-9337 if you are struggling with sleep apnea in Port Orchard. You can also request an appointment online.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects tens of millions of Americans. People who have sleep apnea can stop breathing hundreds of times each night. This condition can increase your risk of everything from high blood pressure to heart attacks and being in car accidents. The most common form of this disorder is obstructive sleep apnea, which Dr. Mueller can help you treat.
Sleep apnea not only disrupts your sleep, it has also been linked to several major health conditions. These include high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression. Getting treatment early on can help you avoid these health issues, enjoy a better quality of life, and even potentially help you live longer.
With sleep apnea, your airway slowly becomes constricted as you fall asleep. To treat it, you need to find a way to keep breathing by keeping your airway open. A CPAP machine can help, but many people have problems using a CPAP consistently. We can design a custom-made oral appliance that shifts your jaw in a way that allows you to breathe freely throughout the night.
