What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where a patient experiences frequent interruptions in their breathing pattern for a few seconds. These pauses lead to a greater underlying risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

There are three types of sleep apnea. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) are the most common. Some patients have a combination of the two which is called Complex Sleep Apnea.

Do I Have Sleep Apnea?

Most people don’t know they have sleep apnea until a roommate or loved one notices their snoring or gasping for air throughout the night. You should contact our office if you experience any of these symptoms:

  • Snoring every night
  • Restless sleep
  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Increased anxiety or depression
  • Unexplained weight gain or weight loss

Sleep Apnea Treatment Options

The most popular form of sleep apnea treatment is the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device. Although effective for many patients, it is often viewed as bulky and difficult to use. Since it comes with a machine and facial mask, many individuals find it uncomfortable to wear and eventually give up on it.

Our dental office opts to provide an alternative solution. After working closely with a patient’s primary doctor to undergo a sleep study, we can offer a custom oral appliance. Called TAP appliances, they are comfortable to wear, highly durable, easy to use, and more convenient when it comes to traveling. Not to mention, they are adjustable and have a high success rate.

These devices help to bring the jaw forward slightly so that the airway remains open throughout the night. As a result, patients achieve better sleep and can breathe freely without fear of obstruction.
