Sleep Apnea

Custom-fit oral appliances offer an effective treatment for sleep apnea by maintaining open airways during sleep, addressing the disorder characterized by repeated breathing interruptions due to collapsed airway passages.

Sleep Apnea

What is it?

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing throughout the night. These pauses in breathing can lead to disrupted sleep and a variety of associated health concerns, impacting overall well-being.

Symptoms

Symptoms of sleep apnea may include:

  • Loud snoring
  • Episodes of breathing cessation observed during sleep
  • Abrupt awakenings accompanied by gasping or choking
  • Morning headache
  • Daytime sleepiness and fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating during the day
  • Mood changes, such as depression or irritability
  • High blood pressure
  • Nighttime sweating

Treatment

Diplomate Dr. Hania Quraishi, certified by the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, offers custom-fit oral appliances to treat sleep apnea. Custom-fit oral appliances offer an effective treatment for medically diagnosed sleep apnea since these devices are designed to keep the airway open during sleep, ensuring continuous, unobstructed breathing. This treatment is tailored to each patient's specific needs, providing an effective solution to this condition.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Sleep Quality: By maintaining an open airway, patients enjoy a deeper, more restful sleep.
  • Reduced Snoring: The appliances help minimize snoring, benefiting not just the patient but also their partner.
  • Lower Health Risks: Effective management of sleep apnea reduces the risk of related health issues, such as cardiovascular problems and daytime fatigue.
  • Non-Invasive Treatment: Unlike surgery, oral appliances are a non-invasive treatment option, offering a less daunting and more accessible solution for many patients.
