Dr. Berry’s in-depth knowledge of TMJ is crucial, as many sleep apnea patients also suffer from TMJ. This dual expertise ensures comprehensive treatment. People with sleep apnea often have TMJ, which can provide sleep apnea treatment challenges. Of course, oral appliance therapy can be difficult for people with sleep apnea, but even CPAP can cause TMJ-related complications.
When to See Dr. Berry about Sleep Apnea
Dr. Berry’s extensive training in dental sleep apnea treatment means he can help if you:
- Suspect sleep apnea
- Have a prescription for CPAP but don’t want to try it
- Struggling to adapt to CPAP
- Seeking a treatment alternative for travel and outdoor activities
- Previously tried oral appliance therapy without success
If you show sleep apnea symptoms, Dr. Berry can facilitate a home sleep test, allowing you to get diagnosed in the comfort of your bed.
If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, most doctors will prescribe CPAP. However, many patients don’t want to try this uncomfortable and inconvenient treatment. The good news is that oral appliance therapy is a frontline treatment for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea. For those diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy is a primary treatment option, and most insurance plans will cover the cost, even if you haven’t tried CPAP. Dr. Berry can review your case and help you understand when oral appliance therapy might work for you.
About half of all people prescribed CPAP can’t adapt to using it long-term. You can get an alternative treatment if that’s the case for you. Dr. Berry has helped many people sleep well after they couldn’t adapt to CPAP.
Many people live in Denver because it’s close to hiking, camping, and other activities in the Rocky Mountains. It’s hard to utilize CPAP when spending a night out under the stars, but Dr. Berry can fit you with an oral appliance that’s a perfect backup treatment.
Dr. Berry has helped many people who didn’t get good results from their initial oral appliance. Often, Dr. Berry can give you a more comfortable and practical oral appliance.
