Do your loved ones bring up your snoring more than you’d like? If so, then it’s time to talk to a sleep scientist about whether a common sleep disorder is affecting your rest. Loud and aggressive snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that hits approximately 30 million Americans on a nightly basis, and if it’s targeting your rest, you need to find a solution that works for you. Those with untreated sleep apnea are at a much higher risk of experiencing heart attack, stroke, and type II diabetes, and that’s before you talk about the hassle of losing sleep.
With our team at Sunny Smiles, you have the opportunity to improve your sleep with a simple solution. Oral appliance therapy treats obstructive sleep apnea in a different way than CPAP, helping you to toss your hoses and wires in favor of something easier to deal with. With this innovative method, you wear a slim mouthguard-like device as you sleep, and it keeps the airway open by repositioning your jaw, rather than with uncomfortable titration. So, when you’re ready to uplift your slumber, talk to our team about all of your options.

Your Snoring Could Be A Sign Of Something More
If your friends and family mention your snoring, then take the time to talk to someone about it. Even if it is simple snoring and nothing more, by meeting with an oral health professional, you can shed some light on the situation and understand what’s going on. It could be that sleep apnea is affecting your ability to experience a full, deep night of sleep.
Obstructive sleep apnea happens in your deepest form of sleep called REM (rapid eye movement). Since your body acts a little differently during this time, your throat tissue can soften, eventually blocking your airway. If this is what’s going on, then meet with a trusted oral health team to talk about your options, because those with untreated sleep apnea are at risk of heart attack, stroke, and more.
