Get the Rest You Need With a Custom Sleep Appliance
It’s no fun being tired and grumpy all day because you didn’t get the restful sleep you needed the night before. It’s hard to function at your job or be pleasant to your family when all you can think about is how tired you are and how much you’d love to take a nap. With obstructive sleep apnea, this scenario happens all too often.
Although many people are under treatment for sleep apnea symptoms, it is estimated that this disorder remains untreated in 92 percent of women and 80 percent of men. If you’ve been dealing with fatigue and other symptoms, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to seek help.
Sleep apnea is caused when the tongue and soft tissues relax and repeatedly block your airway while sleeping. You wake up just long enough to take in more air before falling back asleep, usually with no knowledge of this cycle on your part. With severe sleep apnea, this series of events can repeat themselves dozens of times per hour.
Once you have a diagnosis of sleep apnea, we can take quick, accurate impressions using our digital scanner. We’ll send them to our lab partner who will custom craft a professional sleep apnea appliance just for you.
Your custom-fitted appliance will move your lower jaw gently forward to help keep your airway open. Unlike a CPAP, another common treatment for sleep apnea, there is no noise or mask to disturb you. An appliance is also easier to travel with than a CPAP.
The result will be:
- More restful sleep, without interruptions to take in more air
- Less snoring, so both you and your bed partner sleep better
- More alertness and energy to face the day.
If you think you might suffer from sleep apnea in Brunswick, call Kathleen S. Winn, DMD today at 207-295-0990 to schedule a consultation. You can also make an appointment online or talk to us about your sleep issues at your next dental cleaning and exam.

I highly recommend the gifted office of Dr. Winn! From the front of the house with Heidi to the back of the house with hygienists, the superior care and courtesy of the entire office staff is superb 👌!! Professional, empathetic, and a can do mentality. I always feel I can trust and relax around procedures. To me, Dr. Winn works her magic with her expertise and precision. Dr. Winn remains current with new techniques and clearly impresses with her willingness to expand that expertise. Another important point to certainly mention is you are never in the waiting room long, your appointment time is your appointment time!! Thank you, each and every one, for turning frowns upside down and making the experience of dentistry not so terrifying! Top notch!! Best always, Kristen Halliwell

I would recommend Kathleen S. Winn to be your dentist. They always are so cautious while in your mouth. I have sensitive teeth and I don’t dread going to the dentist.

Lost half of a front tooth on a Wednesday night. Called Thursday morning and got a 1pm same-day appointment. 2hrs later, the restoration was done. Nearly painless, skilled work, pleasant manners and the final result looks great. I have been going to this practice for 20 years and will certainly continue.

Not having a local dentist I was having a severe toothache. Called Dr. Winn’s office & was seen the next day. The diagnosis was that tooth needed extraction. Heidi & Dee set up appointment with oral surgeon 3 days later. I will be going back to Dr. Winn for further work and would highly recommend them.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea occurs when you repeatedly stop breathing while sleeping. It is caused by your air passages becoming blocked by your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat. When they block your airway, you stop breathing for a few seconds before waking up briefly to take in more air. The sleep apnea cycle can repeat itself hundreds of times per night in severe sleep apnea sufferers.
Sleep apnea is a serious condition because it interrupts critical airflow while sleeping. It can leave you feeling lethargic during the day and interfere with your work productivity and your personal life. In addition, sleep apnea has been linked to several serious health conditions like high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression.
If you receive a sleep apnea diagnosis, our practice will take impressions and have a custom-fit sleep apnea appliance made for you to wear while sleeping. It will gently move your lower jaw forward to help keep your airway open. It can also reduce or eliminate snoring. You’ll sleep better, feel better, and improve your overall health.
