Understanding Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, often accompanied by loud snoring. Left untreated, it can lead to a range of health issues, including hypertension, heart disease and daytime fatigue. Snoring, while sometimes a symptom of sleep apnea, can also disturb the sleep quality of both the snorer and their partner.
Treatment Options
Our approach to treating sleep apnea and snoring involves a comprehensive evaluation to accurately diagnose your condition and determine the most effective treatment strategy. Options may include:
- Oral Appliance Therapy: Custom-fitted oral appliances can help keep your airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and treating sleep apnea. These devices are an excellent alternative for patients who find CPAP machines uncomfortable.
- Lifestyle Changes: We may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, changing sleep positions or avoiding alcohol before bedtime, to help alleviate symptoms.
