You spend roughly one-third of your life sleeping. Quality sleep lets your body rest and recover from stressors, health issues and other problems that crop up when you’re awake. However, just because you’re spending time in bed doesn’t mean your sleep is restful. Snoring is the most common symptom of sleep apnea, which is a condition where the soft tissues of your mouth collapse, obstructing your airway. This can cause a person to stop breathing many times in the night! The American Sleep Apnea Association reports that about 22 million Americans have some form of sleep apnea. Once a doctor has diagnosed you with sleep apnea, our Synergy Dental of OC team can provide safe, effective and comfortable sleep apnea treatment in Ladera Ranch, CA.
The symptoms and signs of sleep apnea can vary from person to person. These symptoms aren’t factors for everyone, and there may be a variety of health problems that cause them. That’s why sleep apnea should always be diagnosed by your doctor.
At Synergy Dental of OC, we’re devoted to helping you enjoy all the benefits of more restful sleep. While snoring is the most obvious symptom of sleep apnea, this serious health problem may cause you a variety of problems. You may have trouble staying focused and alert at work or school, or be keeping your family awake at night with your snoring. Left untreated, sleep apnea can have a huge impact on your systemic health and the quality of your life. That’s why we offer the latest technology to help with sleep apnea treatment. If you want an oral appliance for sleep apnea, Dr. Husein is glad to help you out! Without such an appliance or mouthguard, you are at an elevated risk for a lot of health problems down the line.
Once your doctor has diagnosed you with sleep apnea, we offer customized mouthguards and oral appliances in Ladera Ranch, CA to help protect you from its dangers. These are similar to the mouthguards you may wear while playing sports, but instead of only protecting your teeth, it stops your soft tissues from collapsing. With this type of sleep apnea treatment, Dr. Husein will create impressions of your teeth that ensure your mouthguard will fit correctly and firmly. When it’s ready, you take it home and place it over your teeth at bedtime. This oral appliance for sleep apnea treatment will hold your lower jaw slightly forward, preventing your soft tissues from blocking your airway. You may begin to see results on the first night of treatment!
