Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes you to pause your breathing while you sleep. Generally, the pauses last anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds. As a result, your blood oxygen levels drop, and you will wake up as a result of your body attempting to resume breathing. Most people do not fully awaken and may not even realize that they woke up throughout the night. This can cause most people to feel tired and groggy since they did not have a restful sleep.
There are many different methods to treat sleep apnea. Many receive a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), an effective treatment that requires the patient to place a mask over their nose and mouth while they sleep. A dental device is another alternative that is comfortable and equally as effective as a CPAP. This oral appliance fits in your mouth and is worn while you sleep, similar to an orthodontic retainer or mouthguard. These oral appliances are comfortable, easy to care for, and non-invasive. At Apple Dental, we make custom sleep apnea appliances in SW Calgary. These customized appliances are made to suit your specific needs.
