Over time, inadequate sleep or poor sleep quality can significantly impact your health. Issues such as irritability, difficulty concentrating, depression, and even an elevated risk of heart disease can arise from insufficient rest. Moreover, the effects of poor sleep and often disruptive snoring can strain relationships with loved ones. Many symptoms associated with sleep disorders can be linked to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a condition that affects nearly 20 million Americans. Fortunately, effective treatments are available to address this serious condition, leading to a notable enhancement in sleep quality. You may be surprised at how quickly your dentist can help alleviate your OSA symptoms, leaving you feeling more rested, healthier, and happier.
How Can Your Dentist Aid in Improving Your Sleep?
In many cases, OSA can be treated with a minimally invasive sleep appliance, similar to a mouthguard. This custom-made device is designed to gently keep the jaw in a comfortable, open position during the night, preventing airway blockages that cause the breathing interruptions characteristic of OSA. Many patients find that opting for a sleep appliance, such as the Snorple Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece, effectively alleviates OSA symptoms without the need for more cumbersome treatments like a CPAP machine.
