Sleep Apnea Treatment
What Is Sleep Apnea Treatment?
Sleep apnea affects millions of people worldwide and can have a serious impact on your quality of life. Most often, being overweight, obese or having other respiratory issues can increase your chances of developing sleep apnea. The condition is caused by the soft tissues at the very back of the throat relaxing and covering the airway. This results in loud snoring and cessations in your breathing throughout the night, which causes you to continually wake up to catch your breath. We offer a simple oral device appliance that opens the airway, eliminating sleep apnea symptoms.
Why Might Sleep Apnea Treatment Be Needed?
We will take impressions of your mouth and teeth. These molds are then used to make the appliance that you’ll wear. You will come into the office to have the appliance fitted and adjusted as needed. You should wear the device each night in order for it to work effectively at treating your sleep apnea. We can then replace the device as it begins to wear or become damaged. Sleep apnea patients find that these oral devices are incredibly comfortable and highly effective at treating the condition.
