Are you struggling with loud snoring, restless sleep, or waking up feeling exhausted? You might be dealing with sleep apnea – a serious condition that affects not only your sleep quality but also your overall health. Whether you’re struggling with mild to moderate sleep apnea, ABN Family Dental works with you to establish a personalized treatment plan to improve your overall health and well-being.
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax too much, causing airway blockage. This interruption in airflow can happen dozens or even hundreds of times per night.
Symptoms of sleep apnea include:
CPAP machines and other oral appliances are available treatment options. Oral appliances work to treat the symptoms of sleep apnea by altering the lower jaw position, pushing it forward along with the tongue muscles to open the airway. This keeps the airway open, and improving your sleep.
A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is used to treat obstructive sleep apnea by keeping the airway open during sleep. It works by delivering a steady stream of air through a mask that fits over the nose or both the nose and mouth. This constant airflow prevents the throat muscles from collapsing and blocking the airway, which helps maintain uninterrupted breathing throughout the night. By ensuring a continuous oxygen supply, CPAP machines can significantly improve sleep quality, reduce snoring, and lower the risk of complications associated with sleep apnea, such as high blood pressure and daytime fatigue.
