Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. These pauses, known as apneas, can occur multiple times per hour and may last for a few seconds to minutes. This interruption in breathing can lead to disrupted sleep patterns and a range of health issues if left untreated.Recognizing the signs of sleep apnea is crucial for seeking timely intervention. Common symptoms may include:
If you suspect you have sleep apnea, it is important to consult a healthcare professional. Diagnosis typically involves a sleep study, which can be conducted in a sleep center or in some cases, at home.
For some individuals, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy may not be the preferred or most effective treatment option. In such cases, oral appliances can be a viable alternative. These custom-fitted devices are designed to help keep the airway open during sleep by positioning the jaw and tongue in a way that prevents obstruction.
Determining the most suitable treatment for sleep apnea depends on various factors. A thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider will help determine if an oral appliance is the right choice for you.
