WHAT IS SLEEP APNEA?
Sleep apnea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway obstruction. Left untreated, it can lead to a range of health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, fatigue, and more. Fortunately, sleep apnea can often be treated with a custom oral appliance, which helps keep your airway open throughout the night.
SIGNS OF SLEEP APNEA
Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed because the symptoms occur during sleep. However, common signs to look out for include:
- Loud Snoring: Chronic snoring, especially when accompanied by gasping or choking sounds, is a hallmark of sleep apnea.
- Daytime Fatigue: If you frequently feel tired during the day or struggle to stay awake, even after a full night’s sleep, sleep apnea may be the cause.
- Difficulty Concentrating: Sleep apnea can lead to cognitive issues, including difficulty focusing or remembering things.
- Morning Headaches: Waking up with headaches is another common symptom of sleep apnea, as the lack of oxygen disrupts your sleep quality.
HOW WE TREAT SLEEP APNEA
At Willis Orthodontics, we offer an effective and non-invasive solution for sleep apnea through the use of custom oral appliances. These devices help reposition your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open, allowing for easier breathing throughout the night. Here’s how our sleep apnea treatment works:
- Consultation & Evaluation: Schedule an appointment at one of our offices in Logan, Providence, or Preston, where Dr. Willis will assess your symptoms and review your sleep history. If necessary, a sleep study may be recommended to confirm a sleep apnea diagnosis.
- Custom Oral Appliance: Once sleep apnea is confirmed, we will design a custom oral appliance tailored specifically to your mouth. This appliance is worn at night and works by gently adjusting your jaw to prevent airway obstruction.
- Follow-Up Care: We monitor your progress and adjust the appliance as needed to ensure optimal results. Regular follow-ups help maintain its effectiveness, giving you lasting relief from sleep apnea symptoms.
BENEFITS OF ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY FOR SLEEP APNEA
Using an oral appliance to treat sleep apnea offers many advantages:
- Non-Invasive Solution: Oral appliances provide a comfortable, non-surgical way to manage sleep apnea and improve your quality of life.
- Better Sleep: By keeping your airway open, the appliance helps you achieve deeper, more restful sleep, reducing daytime fatigue and improving concentration.
- Easy to Use: Oral appliances are easy to wear, portable, and require minimal maintenance, making them a convenient option for most patients.
- Improved Overall Health: Treating sleep apnea can reduce your risk of associated health conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
