What is Sleep Apnea?Sleep apnea is a chronic sleep disorder with a wide array of various symptoms. The most alarming thing about this disorder is patients can be completely unaware they even have it. Other patients know right away that something is wrong. Those are the patients who wake up feeling as if they are being smothered, gasping for breath. Although unsettling, the good news is there are various treatments available to address the symptoms, as well as the disorder. Symptoms of Sleep ApneaIf you suffer from sleep apnea, or snore when you sleep, you should seek treatment. While most people do not treat snoring, it can lead to more serious problems. Most people who snore and experience apnea suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. This occurs when the throat muscles are too relaxed during sleep. You may awaken feeling tired, regardless of how much sleep you got or what time you went to bed. If you suffer from this condition, you will stop breathing in your sleep. In most cases, you will also wake up several times at night. Thankfully, we have the right treatment option for this condition. Oral appliance therapy is a dental procedure that helps control breathing, improve alertness, and increase restful sleep.  Treatment Options for Sleep ApneaOral appliance therapy is one of the most popular treatment options for treating sleep apnea. This is an oral device worn during sleep. The device supports your jaw in a forward position to help maintain an open airway. When you visit us, our dentists will collaborate with a sleep apnea doctor, to determine the best treatment option. If it is determined an oral device is the best treatment, the dentist will prepare the design for your custom device using computer-aided design. You will be given a date when to collect your device from our office. During collection, our dentists will fit the device and guide you on how and when to wear it. All of our oral devices are approved by the FDA and have proven effective in controlling snoring and sleep apnea.
