What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The condition can be caused by obstructions in the airway or a failure of the brain to signal the body to breathe properly. These interruptions in breathing can happen hundreds of times throughout the night, leading to fragmented, poor-quality sleep.
The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much, causing a blockage in your airway. This collapse of the airway prevents adequate airflow and deprives the brain and body of oxygen throughout the night.
Less common, but equally serious, is central sleep apnea (CSA). This is caused by disrupted signals between the brain and breathing muscles and complex sleep apnea, a combination of both OSA and CSA. While our practice focuses on oral appliance therapy primarily for OSA, we collaborate with your medical providers to ensure a complete, accurate diagnosis and tailored care plan.
Defend Your Health with Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is more than just an inconvenience, it can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, and even mental health concerns. If left untreated, the condition can have long-term effects on your health and quality of life. That is why it is essential to seek treatment early and work with your physician to manage your symptoms.
At Bahr Dental, we offer non-invasive treatments to address sleep apnea so you can enjoy improved health and more restful nights. We understand that each patient’s condition is unique, which is why we provide customized solutions that integrate seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Treat Sleep Apnea with Mouth Guards
For many patients, the CPAP machine, the most common treatment for sleep apnea, can feel bulky, uncomfortable, and difficult to use. If you are struggling with a CPAP, do not worry; we offer a better alternative: custom-made oral appliances.
Our mouth guards are specifically designed to help alleviate sleep apnea symptoms by gently repositioning your jaw while you sleep. By adjusting your jaw, the mouth guard keeps your airway open, reducing the likelihood of airway obstruction during sleep.
These oral appliances are an effective treatment for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and offer a less invasive, more comfortable option than CPAP machines.
To get your customized mouth guard and start on a personalized treatment plan to correct your sleep apnea, call now to schedule an appointment. We want you to have a better night’s sleep.
How Do Mouth Guards Work?
Mouth guards for sleep apnea are crafted from durable, medical-grade materials and are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly. These devices gently reposition your lower jaw forward, helping to keep your airway open during sleep. This small adjustment can make a significant difference in your ability to breathe freely at night.
Treatment with a mouth guard typically takes 2–6 months, during which time your jawline will gradually adjust to its new position. Our team will work closely with your physician or sleep specialist to ensure that your sleep apnea is managed effectively and monitored for progress. We will also schedule regular follow-ups to assess your comfort, fit, and results.
