Patients with sleep apnea, and what a lot of people don’t realize is, what sleep apnea is, is you basically stop breathing while you’re sleeping. Very, very dangerous. Doesn’t happen often or depending on how severe it is, but you could die.
Also with sleep apnea, you tend to have high blood pressure. You tend to have, make it almost impossible for you to lose weight. Okay, your hormones are all messed up.
Okay, you’re groggy during the day. You can get into more car accidents. You tend to be short of temper.
Okay, so all of these things affect your entire life. So dealing, if you do have sleep apnea and dealing with that, okay, it will be, will enhance the quality of your life tremendously. Not to mention a lot of times the longevity of your life.
When we do sleep apnea or we do a sleep apnea device, it’s not just a one-shot deal. The patient has to come back in and we usually have to titrate the device to get them comfortable. And everybody’s a little bit different of how far we can move the jaw temporarily while you’re sleeping to get the air in.
But I’ve had people turn around and say, oh my God, you have changed my life. I mean, I don’t fall asleep in the afternoon anymore. You know, I don’t need my three cups of cappuccino, you know, at two o’clock.
I wake up refreshed. It’s life-changing, it really is.

Rest Easier With a Custom Mouthguard Instead of a CPAP
Wonder why you wake up exhausted despite getting a full night’s sleep? the answer might lie in what’s happening while you’re trying to rest. With obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), your throat tissues temporarily block your breathing. It forces your body to partially wake up just to take a proper breath. This can happen hundreds of times each night. While feeling tired all the time is bad enough, this sleep disorder has also been linked to serious conditions like high blood pressure and depression.
If you struggle with morning fatigue, snoring, or waking up gasping for air during the night, you’ll want to bring that up at your next checkup. Your dentist can give you a take-home sleep test that helps confirm your apnea diagnosis. Once confirmed, you’ll return to our office for a custom sleep guard. Unlike a CPAP machine, this will allow you to:

Sleep apnea is a condition caused when your airway becomes obstructed while you sleep. This usually occurs when your tongue or other soft tissue in your mouth temporarily relaxes. This causes frequent interruptions in your breathing that make it nearly impossible for you – and often your household – to get a good night’s rest.
Sleep apnea not only disrupts your sleep, but it has also been linked to several major health conditions. These include high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression. Getting treatment early on can help you avoid these health issues, enjoy a better quality of life, and even potentially help you live longer.
CPAP therapy is often the first recommended treatment for sleep apnea. While CPAP is effective, many people have trouble getting used to having air blown through their mouth and nose. A good alternative treatment option is a custom-fit sleep appliance. It will fit comfortably in your mouth while you sleep, gently moving your lower jaw forward to keep your air passages open.
