Sleep apnea affects more than just your nights; it can disrupt your health, energy, and even your mood. Whether you’ve noticed the signs—like loud snoring or constant fatigue—or you’re searching for a different way to treat sleep apnea, we have a solution that will fit naturally into your lifestyle. Keep reading to discover how we can help you breathe easier and sleep better.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea occurs when the airway collapses during sleep, cutting off oxygen flow and forcing the brain to wake you repeatedly to reopen it. These interruptions can happen dozens of times an hour, leaving you exhausted even after a full night’s rest. Untreated sleep apnea doesn’t just lead to poor sleep—it increases your risk for serious health issues, like high blood pressure, stroke, memory problems, and more.
An Alternative or Companion to CPAP
CPAP is a highly effective treatment for sleep apnea and helps many patients regain restful sleep. However, it’s not the best fit for everyone. A custom oral appliance can provide relief if you’re seeking a simpler option or want an alternative for certain situations, like travel.
When you wear a custom oral appliance at night, it keeps your airway open to prevent sleep apnea episodes. The benefits are that it’s small, easy to travel with, and completely self-contained. This non-surgical solution is an effective and convenient alternative or complement to CPAP.
