Completing a Sleep Study For Snoring
Snoring is the most common symptom of sleep apnea, a more serious health condition. If you snore, we recommend you complete a sleep study to determine whether you have snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.
We recommend that you use an at-home test to obtain a diagnosis of your sleep disorder. Our staff will direct you on how to order the at-home testing kit. The test is affordable, easy to use, and allows you to test at home while completing your normal sleep routine.
We offer oral appliance therapy as an effective treatment option for both conditions.

What Is an Oral Sleep Appliance?
An oral sleep appliance is a custom-made device that fits like a retainer in the mouth. It works by gently repositioning your lower jaw forward to open up your airway and prevent it from collapsing during sleep. This helps ensure that you get sufficient oxygen during the night and can rest peacefully without interruption.
Oral appliances are easy to wear and comfortable to use. They're small enough to fit inside your pocket or purse when not in use, so they're perfect for travelers who need their device on-the-go! Additionally, they don't make any noise while you sleep, so no one else in your bed will be disturbed by them either.
How Does it Work?
Here at Klooster Family Dentistry we use the top-of-the-line Respire Oral Appliance to help treat the symptoms of sleep apnea in our patients in Holly Springs, Apex, and Raleigh. The Respire Oral Appliance is designed to treat snoring and sleep apnea by gently positioning your lower jaw slightly forward while you sleep. This helps prevent your airway from becoming blocked during the night and keeps you breathing normally so that you can get a good night's rest.
