Roughly 22 million people suffer from sleep apnea, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association. Its symptoms include snoring, feeling tired during the day, waking up choking or gasping, and waking up with a sore throat. Untreated sleep apnea can up the risk of many health-related conditions, including diabetes, heart attacks, and stroke, to name just a few.
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea or think you might have the disorder, we here at Radiance Dental can help. For many people, particularly those with mild sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance is highly effective for snoring and sleep apnea. In some cases, it can be an alternative to using a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine.
Oral sleep appliances, such as dental mouthpieces for sleep apnea and snoring, work by pushing the jaw and tongue forward and repositioning the tongue to keep your airway open during sleep. This can help to:
- · reduce or eliminate snoring
- · improve sleep quality
- · increase daytime energy
Contact us today for a FREE Consultation to see if you are a candidate for the sleep apnea & snoring CPAP alternative.
