Sleep Apnea Treatments
About Sleep Apnea:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, causing breathing interruptions throughout the night. These interruptions can significantly impact your sleep quality and overall health.
Common symptoms include:
Loud snoring
Daytime fatigue
Morning headaches
Difficulty concentrating
Waking up gasping for air
Restless sleep
Dry mouth upon waking
If left untreated, sleep apnea may increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and other health concerns.
Oral Appliance Therapy for Sleep Apnea
For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea—or those who struggle with CPAP machines—oral appliance therapy may be an effective solution.
A custom-made oral appliance is worn while sleeping and works by gently repositioning the jaw to help keep the airway open throughout the night.
Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy
✔ Comfortable and easy to wear
✔ Quiet and travel-friendly
✔ No masks, hoses, or machines
✔ Custom-fit for your mouth
✔ Easy to clean and maintain
✔ Convenient for frequent travelers
Many patients find oral appliance therapy easier to use consistently than CPAP therapy, helping them achieve better long-term results.
