Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Take Your Sleep Apnea Treatment With You

If your friends and family have started to bring up their concerns about your snoring, make the effort and talk to your oral health team about what’s going on. Loud or aggressive snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder that affects millions of Americans on a nightly basis. Sleep apnea, when untreated, can significantly increase your risk of experiencing some serious health issues such as heart attack, stroke, and type II diabetes, so it’s important to find a treatment plan that you can follow.

With our team at Kozlow & Rowell Dentistry in Dallas, TX, you’ve got an office that’s really rooting for your success. We know that struggling with your sleep can make each day a little bit tougher, and we also understand that for many people, traditional CPAP approaches are just not an option. If you’ve tried titration and you’re ready for something else, come explore whether oral appliance therapy is right for you.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Puts Real Strain On Your Body

While you might not think much of your snoring, it might be a sign of a serious problem. Chronic obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that affects approximately 30 million Americans, and one of its defining characteristics is loud or interruptive snoring. Now, not every patient who lives with this condition will see the trademark snoring, but if your loved ones have mentioned yours, it’s worth talking to your oral health team.

Obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA for short, happens in your deepest form of sleep. Your body during this slumber, called REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, acts a little differently than it does during waking hours. Unfortunately, when the throat tissue becomes too relaxed, it can actually block you from breathing, and you need oxygen to thrive.

Oral Appliance Therapy Offers A Solution You Can Take With You

If your dentist or physician has given you a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, take the time to learn about your treatment options. Some people struggle with traditional CPAP methods, and if this sounds like you, ask about oral appliance therapy. This innovative approach to OSA treatment helps you to ditch those uncomfortable wires and masks.

With SomnoDent MAS™ oral appliance therapy, you’ll receive a custom device that works in a different way. An oral appliance shifts the placement of your jaw to open the airway throughout the night, and it’s proving to be a real help for those who love to travel. The next time you go camping, bring your SomnoDent MAS™ oral appliance along.
