If you or a loved one struggles with loud snoring, unexplained daytime fatigue, frequent morning headaches, or restless nights, you might be experiencing sleep apnea. This serious medical condition occurs when breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to reduced oxygen flow to the brain and body.
At Acre Wood Dental in Temple, we understand the significant impact sleep apnea can have on your health and quality of life, which is why we offer specialized dental treatments for sleep apnea as a comfortable and effective alternative or complement to traditional therapies like CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure).
Custom Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea
For many patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom-made oral appliance can be a life-changing solution. These small, discreet devices are designed to be worn comfortably while you sleep. They work by gently repositioning the jaw and/or tongue, helping to keep your airway open and prevent the soft tissues in your throat from collapsing. By maintaining an open airway, these appliances effectively eliminate or significantly reduce breathing pauses and disruptive snoring, allowing for uninterrupted sleep and much better oxygen flow throughout the night. This leads to improved energy levels, reduced daytime sleepiness, and a decrease in associated health risks.
Our dentists at Acre Wood Dental in Temple will work closely with you, and if necessary, collaborate with your sleep physician, to accurately diagnose your condition and determine if an oral appliance is the right fit for your specific needs. We prioritize a personalized approach, ensuring your custom appliance is crafted for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
