Oral Appliance Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Ask
yourself theses simple questions to determine if Obstructive Sleep
Apnea (OSA) could be holding you back from the healthy, energetic
life you deserve.
Are
you sleeping well? Do
you snore?
Are
you always tired? Do
you have high blood pressure or diabetes?
Are
you over weight? Do
you have frequent headaches?
If
you answered yes to any of these, you could have OSA. Approximately
half of all people who snore loudly have sleep apnea. Accordingly to
the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, that’s up to 18
million Americans. Are you one of them?
OSA
is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when the tongue and soft
palate collapse onto the back of the throat, stopping airflow. The
oxygen level drops and the brain moves out of deep sleep. The person
partially awakens and begins breathing again, often with a loud gasp.
The process is repeated over and over throughout the night with each
apnea lasting from 10 seconds to 3 minutes.
People with OSA stop breathing and are deprived of oxygen hundreds of times a
night. Not only does OSA prevent the suffer from achieving deep,
restful sleep, it can put a tremendous strain on the heart and the
body, greatly reducing lifespan. This is a serious
medical condition requiring diagnosis by a physician, but you can be
on your way to a better night’s sleep just by scheduling an
appointment to learn about our dental sleep apnea treatment.
At Oxford Crossing, we can successfully treat OSA with a small,
comfortable, custom-fit mouthpiece. Similar to a retainer, the oral
appliance sleep apnea device gently repositions the lower jaw,
preventing the airway from becoming obstructed. This life-changing
solution can help you sleep through the night so you wake up rested
and refreshed every day.
If
you think you or someone you love has OSA, don’t suffer needlessly.We can help.Call
