Sleep apnea is a common disorder experienced by a wide variety of people. It happens when the upper airways become blocked during sleep. Those with sleep apnea frequently suffer from daytime fatigue due to poor quality of sleep as well as headaches, and the condition can also increase the risk of elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Sleep apnea can occur at any age; its likelihood increases as people grow older. Other risk factors include unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, overindulgence in alcohol, not getting enough exercise, and heredity.

Sugar Land Sleep Apnea Treatments

Fortunately, modern medical technology has made it possible for sleep apnea to be successfully treated. One of the most effective ways of doing so is oral appliance therapy. Here’s how it works:

Oral appliances worn while sleeping position the lower jaw in a way that prevents the obstruction of airways. These devices fit snugly in the mouth in the same manner as mouth guards worn by athletes who play contact sports. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has approved oral appliance therapy for those with mild to moderate sleep apnea. General advantages of oral appliance therapy to treat sleep apnea are:

Comfort and ease-of-wear — properly fitted, they don’t pinch otherwise cause irritation

Easy to care for — they don’t require complicated maintenance techniques

Travel-friendly — they can easily be taken anywhere

The FDA has approved more than 100 oral appliances for the treatment of sleep apnea. Your dentist in Sugar Land can make recommendations on which type best suits your individual needs and preferences, ensure that it fits properly, advise you on how to care for it and provide follow-up care to determine if desired improvements are being made. Please feel free to contact our office in Sugar Land at your convenience for more information on sleep apnea treatment.
