Have your friends and family started to bring up their concerns about your loud snoring? If so, then you could be experiencing a common sleep disorder related to your oral health. Chronic obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that happens in your deepest form of sleep, when the body acts a little differently than normal. When the structure of the throat becomes a little too soft to hold its natural shape, it can collapse on itself, causing aggressive or unnerving snoring. This condition also means pauses in breath overnight, putting your health at risk; oral appliance therapy works to change that, without the need for hoses or masks.
We understand that finding the right sleep solution can mean the difference between quality slumber and a rough night. At Sunny Smiles, we also know that traditional CPAP therapy can turn people off from its use, and when you have had enough, we have a solution. With an oral appliance, you can take your obstructive sleep apnea solution with you wherever you go, and you can find rest without having to find an outlet. This method uses a simple readjustment of the placing of your jaw, keeping your airway free all night long!
