3 Benefits of Sleep Apnea Appliances

If you have any questions about our sleep apnea services, our team is here for you. They'll answer any that you may have and give you the information you need to decide if you'd like to proceed with treatment. It's important to note that the longer your sleep apnea goes untreated, the worse its symptoms can become. Some of the benefits of our West Houston sleep apnea services include:

Giving You Restful Sleep: Even mild sleep apnea cases can leave you feeling tired as it reduces the quality of sleep you're receiving. Our sleep apnea services are aimed at helping you sleep deeply and soundly at night for increased energy during the day.
Providing Alternative Options: One of the greatest benefits of our sleep apnea treatment is that it gives our patients options they may not have found anywhere else. Our sleep apnea appliances are an excellent alternative solution for patients young and old.
Ease of Use: Sleep apnea appliances are popular for their ease of use and simple cleaning. Our team will give you everything you need to know so that you can effectively clean and maintain your new appliance.

Creating Custom Oral Appliances

When you visit our dental practice for the first time, we'll start by asking you various questions. Have you participated in a sleep study yet? How long have you been dealing with sleep apnea? Does your partner complain about severe snoring? Depending on whether you've had a sleep study done or not, we'll then move forward with treating your sleep apnea.

One of the most popular options for treating sleep apnea is an oral appliance. With an appliance, we can shift your jaws into their desired position so that your airway isn't obstructed during sleep. You can rest assured that we take detailed measurements of your smile so that your appliance fits securely and comfortably all through the night. We'll also provide you with detailed instructions on how to clean and maintain your new appliance.

Whether you want to know what materials our appliances are made of or what to do if you damage your appliance, we're here for you. Some of the most frequently asked questions about our West Houston sleep apnea treatment include:

If I snore loudly, does that mean I'm dealing with sleep apnea?

Not at all. Although loud and persistent snoring typically accompanies sleep apnea, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have it. We highly recommend that you visit our dental practice so that we can refer you to a trusted local doctor for a sleep study.

How do I know if I have an increased risk of sleep apnea?

There are various factors that can make an individual more susceptible to developing sleep apnea. Some of the most common risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and severe obesity. If you have one or more risk factors, you should visit your primary care physician to get a better idea of your next steps.

Does sleep apnea only affect adults?

Although sleep apnea primarily affects adults, people of all ages can suffer from sleep apnea, including children, teens, seniors. Fortunately, no matter what your age is, our treatment can get you back to restful and refreshing sleep.

Will my new appliance be awkward to wear?

It's normal for patients to feel aware of their new appliance at first as you become used to it. Over time, your sleep apnea appliance will feel like an extension of your body and it will be easier to consistently wear it throughout the night.
