Sleep Right KY

As a Sleep Right KY patient, you will sleep and feel better by using an EASY, DISCREET and EFFECTIVE customized dental appliance that will help you breathe easier at night and wake up refreshed and ready to face the day!
That’s right—right here at Dr. Bishop’s office, getting help from Sleep Right KY really is as simple as 1, 2, 3!
For over 25 years, CPAP machines have been the most commonly prescribed treatment for sleep apnea. That all changed when oral appliances became a first-line remedy for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
At M.R. Bishop DMD and Associates, we found that sleep appliances are more convenient and comfortable than a CPAP machine. We provide our patients with a custom appliance that is worn much like a mouthguard to control snoring while you sleep. It gently shifts your jaw into a position that keeps your airway open, similar to that of a CPAP machine minus the bulky facial mask and uncomfortable breathing tube.
The oral appliance is also perfect for travel – no more carrying your bulky CPAP around the airport! Now you can pack your appliance with no extra baggage – and hit the road!
Sleep Right KY
Here’s how you can use Sleep Right KY to change—and possibly save—your life:
- Schedule a consultation with our Dental Sleep Coordinator Amy Watts. At the end of your consultation, you’ll be given a take-home sleep test.
- Bring your completed sleep test to our office.
- If your Sleep Study Review shows that you would benefit from a customized dental appliance, and if you choose to move forward with treatment, we provide a thorough exam and begin the process of fitting you for the appliance that best fits your needs. This process is completed digitally, making it more efficient and comfortable for you.
How Sleep Right KY could help YOU – and possibly even save your life!
If…Snoring is a problem for you and/or your partner…You have problems getting enough sleep…You feel tired during the day…You grind or clench your teeth…OR…You have diabetes or high blood pressure… You could suffer from the issues created by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Sleep apnea patients experience an obstructed airflow that restricts the flow of oxygen from the nose and mouth to the lungs. Sleep apnea can cause multiple pauses (from 5 to 30 per night!) in breathing—lasting anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.
In addition to causing disrupted sleep, these sleep pattern issues can lead to…
- Low oxygen levels
- Memory and concentration problems
- Possible irregular heart disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke
If you’ve already been diagnosed with sleep apnea and have used a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine, you know that it is BULKY and INCONVENIENT—and can make you look like and feel like DARTH VADER. CPAP machines are the most commonly used treatment for sleep apnea–over 750, 000 are prescribed each year, yet because CPAPs are bulky and difficult to use and keep clean, many patients use their CPAP machines less than prescribed and are not satisfied with the results.
Here’s the GOOD news:
Studies show that patients prefer an oral appliance over their CPAP machine.
The benefits of a Sleep Right KY’s customized dental mouthpiece include:
- Our dental professionals customize your mouthpiece to fit securely and easily in your mouth. You won’t notice it while you’re sleeping—and you won’t look like Darth Vader while wearing it!
- You will wear the mouthpiece only while sleeping. When you wake in the morning, simply take the mouthpiece out.
- Your customized dental mouthpiece will be small and easy to insert and remove. You won’t have to carry bulky machines when you travel—no machines are required!
