What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during sleep. There are two primary types of sleep apnea:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by a blockage in the airway, typically due to the relaxation of the throat muscles.
Central sleep apnea (CSA)
Caused by a failure of the brain to signal the muscles to breathe.
Both types of sleep apnea can cause significant health risks if left untreated, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and other serious medical conditions.
Sleep disordered breathing can be debilitating
Sleep problems involving breathing, such as sleep apnea, can be debilitating because they interfere with the quality and quantity of sleep, which can have significant impacts on both physical and mental health.
During sleep apnea, a person’s breathing is repeatedly interrupted throughout the night, which can lead to oxygen deprivation, increased blood pressure, and other health issues. This can result in excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and memory problems, making it challenging to perform daily activities like work or school.
Sleep apnea can also increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes. In severe cases, it can even lead to heart failure or sudden death during sleep.
In addition to the physical effects, sleep problems involving breathing can also cause emotional and psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and irritability.
Therefore, it’s essential to seek medical treatment for sleep related breathing disorders as early diagnosis and management can improve quality of life and reduce the risk of associated health problems.
How can GT Dental Studio help with snoring and sleep apnea?
At GT Dental Studio, we understand that snoring and sleep apnea can have a significant impact on your quality of life. That’s why we offer advanced solutions to help you get a better night’s sleep and reduce associated health risks.
Our team of experienced dental professionals uses advanced diagnostic tools to accurately diagnose sleep apnea and develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific needs.
The SomnoDent® Avant™ oral appliance is custom-made for your mouth. The device gently closes your mouth, so you breathe through your nose while you are sleeping. This eliminates snoring in most people, as well as prevents dry mouth.
We work with you to find the most effective treatment options, which may include:
Oral Appliance Therapy
Custom-made oral appliances can be used to reposition the jaw and tongue to prevent the airway from becoming blocked.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
This is a common treatment for moderate to severe OSA that involves wearing a mask that delivers a steady stream of air to keep the airway open.
Surgery
In some cases, surgical interventions may be necessary to address structural issues that are causing sleep apnea.
