Sleep Apnea Treatment at Rangewood Orthodontics
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. This can result in loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, and other health problems. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek the help of a healthcare professional.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
The symptoms of sleep apnea can vary, but some of the most common include loud snoring, restless tossing and turning during sleep, choking or gasping during sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and difficulty concentrating.
How Can Rangewood Orthodontics Help with Sleep Apnea?
At Rangewood Orthodontics, our team of experts can provide orthodontic treatment for sleep apnea using oral appliance therapy. An oral appliance is a custom-fitted device that is worn in the mouth during sleep. The appliance works by repositioning the jaw and tongue to help keep the airway open, preventing the cessation of breathing that is characteristic of sleep apnea.
Advantages of Orthodontic Treatment for Sleep Apnea
Orthodontic treatment for sleep apnea offers several advantages over other treatments, including:
- Non-invasive and comfortable
- Easy to use and maintain
- Can be adjusted as needed
- Can be effective for mild to moderate sleep apnea
