Get Better Rest At Night

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring are two difficult disorders that can disrupt yours and your family member’s rest in the evenings. Snoring happens when your airways become blocked, which leads to a loud sound and other side effects. Loud, frequent snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, which happens when your airways are blocked and you periodically stop breathing. If you frequently snore loudly, you may be keeping your loved ones awake, and you may not be reaching a deep state of rest that allows you to feel recharged. OSA can also disrupt your quality of rest because you can wake up throughout the night when you have pauses in your breathing. You may not realize that this is happening, but your body is aware because it is not properly relaxing.

Feel More Alert During The Day

Since your rest is being interrupted from snoring or waking up throughout the night, you may feel tired in the mornings. This can lead to chronic fatigue, which can make completing daily tasks more difficult. After diagnosing your disorder and finding a treatment, such as with a custom oral appliance, you may be able to feel more rested in the mornings. When you are able to get the proper amount of rest at night, you can feel more refreshed (opens in new tab) in the mornings, have improved concentration, and boost energy levels.

Protect Your Health And Quality of Life

These disorders can unfortunately affect your physical and mental health. Patients with this disorder can be at an increased risk of high blood pressure, which can also increase your risk of diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and more. Additionally, the lack of proper rest you are getting can affect your mood and mental health. After a consultation with your dentist to review your symptoms and health history, we may be able to diagnose the problem. We can then create a custom oral appliance for you to wear at night to keep your airways open. In the morning, you may feel better rested and ready to start the day.
