What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious condition that causes breathing to stop during sleep due to airway obstruction. Oftentimes, the soft oral tissues of the throat collapse, making it difficult for air to pass through. The result is the body waking up, gasping for air, or choking. When this occurs repeatedly throughout the night, the effects include fatigue, moodiness, forgetfulness, and drowsy driving. Additionally, your overall health can suffer because of an increased risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and heart attack.
How We Treat Sleep Apnea
Treating sleep apnea requires that you first undergo a sleep study and have your collected data analyzed by a local physician. Once you are formally diagnosed with sleep apnea, our team can provide customized Silent Night and Somnomed oral appliances. These easy-to-use devices are worn throughout the night, shifting your jaw forward slightly to keep your airway open and unobstructed.
