What is Sleep Apnea Disorder?
Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by interruptions to normal breathing while you sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by blockages of the airway, such as when the soft tissues of the throat collapse. Sleep apnea rarely goes away on its own, and when untreated, it can lead to serious health problems now and in the future.
Sleep Apnea Treatments in Modesto, CA
If you’re experiencing mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, rest assured that there are effective sleep apnea treatment options available to help you find relief and get a good night’s sleep. One such option is the use of special oral appliances tailored to your unique smile. This appliance is custom fit to your smile so that it is as unobtrusive as possible. It works by gently pulling the jaw forward, helping to keep the airway open and preventing obstructions during the night.
This appliance may take some getting used to, but once you are used to it, your sleep should improve dramatically. If an oral appliance is not the right fit for your sleep apnea, there are other treatments available, and our dentists in Modesto, California, will work with you to find the best one for your needs.
