If you have obstructive sleep apnea, the soft tissues in the back of your throat close while you sleep. This can lead to a severely disrupted sleep cycle. You may experience symptoms such as loud snoring, headaches in the morning, waking up gasping for air, and excessive drowsiness during the day.
CPAP machines are one of the best solutions. However, they don’t work for every patient. That’s when it can be beneficial to get treatment from our team. Dr. Rathjen can fabricate a custom-crafted oral appliance that will help keep your airway open during the night.
You can expect many benefits from this solution:
Dr. Rathjen will begin treatment by confirming your diagnosis. He can recommend a board-certified doctor to perform a sleep study, if needed. Once you get that confirmation, he will capture impressions of your teeth and work with SomnoMed to create your sleep appliance.

Sleep apnea is a condition caused when your airway becomes obstructed while you sleep. This usually occurs when your tongue or other soft tissue in your mouth temporarily relaxes. This causes frequent interruptions in your breathing that make it nearly impossible for you – and often your household – to get a good night’s rest.
Sleep apnea is harmful because it blocks your oxygen supply while you’re sleeping. This interferes with your sleep and leaves you feeling weak and tired the next day. However, sleep apnea has also been linked to serious health concerns like heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Treating sleep apnea can improve your quality of life as well as your life expectancy.
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 even reduce snoring. You’ll sleep better, feel better, and improve your overall health.

I highly recommend Dr Rathjen and his staff for your dental care. I had 12 crowns installed due to uneven wear, which is a difficult process to get right, and I am very satisfied with the results. My smile has been dramatically improved. Dr Rathjen is professional, kind and caring. His assistant Bridgette is a sweetheart, and always made sure I was comfortable and understood the healing and care of my new crowns. Carol always helps to schedule appointments when convenient for the patient, and clearly explained any billing questions. What a great team!
