Treating Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea treatment is available at our dental office in Minneapolis, and is often covered by medical insurance. We prescribe a repositioning device to help maintain jaw position during sleep. This simple device reduces vibrations and breathing obstructions, and often eliminates snoring.
