See How Our Treatment Can Help You Sleep Better

Yeah, so getting a good night's sleep is really important. There are a lot of people, a lot of research out there that says that, or emphasizes that getting a good night's rest has a huge effect on your overall mood and overall health. And one, one thing that keeps people from getting a good night's rest is sleep apnea. 

And it is, it's not only something that can help you feel better, but it's having sleep apnea can also have a negative effect on your health and can be really bad for your heart. A lot of times people aren't able to use a CPAP or they find it uncomfortable, and that's where we come in. We can work with your physician and make a, an appliance that will allow you to be able to breathe easier and sleep easier. It's a really simple process. 

If you haven't had a sleep study done recently, we have a take-home sleep study that you, you can, that you would take home and borrow from us. It just takes one night typically to be able to get the information that we need. And then we can make an appliance that will help you to be able to breathe easier.

That is not as intrusive as other, other things that are used to treat sleep apnea. Yeah. I remember one patient in particular, in particular, I remember one patient in particular who he had made a sleep appliance for. 

And after seeing him a few months later for his follow-up appointment, he mentioned how he was sleeping better. And essentially from day one, his wife had noticed that his snoring had decreased and that he was feeling better as well since he was getting a better night's rest.

Commonly Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea

What is sleep apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common type of sleep apnea, occurs when your air passage becomes temporarily blocked repeatedly while you sleep. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat relax to the point that your airway is restricted, causing you to quit breathing for a few seconds. This cycle can repeat itself dozens of times per hour in severe sleep apnea sufferers.
Why is sleep apnea bad?
Sleep apnea is harmful because it blocks your oxygen supply while you're sleeping. This interferes with your sleep and leaves you feeling weak and tired the next day. However, sleep apnea has also been linked to serious health concerns like heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Treating sleep apnea can improve your quality of life as well as your life expectancy.
Why does sleep apnea happen?

Obstructive sleep apnea (the most common type) occurs when your air passage becomes temporarily blocked while sleeping. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat can relax to the point that your airflow is restricted. This causes your brain to wake up your body long enough to take a few regular breaths. You then fall back to sleep. However, this cycle can repeat itself dozens of times per hour.
