What is Sleep Apnea: Health Risks and Symptoms

Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep, most often due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In OSA, the throat muscles relax excessively, causing temporary airway blockages. These disruptions lower oxygen levels, potentially leading to fatigue, high blood pressure, and even heart disease.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea include:

  • Loud, chronic snoring
  • Restless or interrupted sleep
  • Choking or gasping while asleep
  • Struggling to stay awake or focus during the day
  • Irritability or low energy

Sleep apnea can impact more than just your nights; without treatment, it may also harm your health and well-being.

What is Oral Appliance Therapy?

Oral Appliance Therapy offers a modern, effective way to address obstructive sleep apnea. This therapy involves wearing a small, custom-made device in your mouth that gently repositions your jaw, keeping your airway open while you sleep. Compact and tailored to each individual, this appliance is a popular alternative to more cumbersome treatments. Unlike CPAP machines, it’s quiet, comfortable, and allows for natural movement as you rest.

How Oral Appliance Therapy Works

Oral Appliance Therapy is a low-maintenance, patient-friendly solution for sleep apnea. The device, custom-fitted to your mouth, gently supports your jaw to keep your airway open as you sleep. Unlike CPAP machines, which are bulky and noisy, this appliance is silent, discreet, and comfortable—fitting like a mouth guard with no extra tubes or headgear.

After an initial consultation to understand your needs, we’ll create an appliance that maximizes both comfort and effectiveness. With consistent nightly use, you’ll likely experience deeper, more restful sleep and reduce health risks associated with sleep apnea, such as heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.

Why Oral Appliance Therapy is a Great Alternative to CPAP

For years, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines have been a go-to treatment for sleep apnea. However, many find CPAP machines uncomfortable or difficult to use due to the device’s noise, bulk, and maintenance needs. At Dentistry of Arizona, we offer Oral Appliance Therapy as a simpler, more adaptable option. Here’s why it might be the best choice for you:

Comfortable and Easy to Use

Unlike CPAP machines, which require wearing a mask, an oral appliance is a custom-fitted device that rests comfortably in your mouth. It’s non-intrusive, allowing you to sleep naturally without concerns about a mask shifting.

Quiet and Discreet

CPAP machines produce a steady sound, which can disturb sleep for you and your partner. An oral appliance, by contrast, is completely silent, allowing for peaceful, uninterrupted rest.

Conveniently Portable

Traveling with a CPAP machine means managing tubes, a mask, and a power supply, while oral appliances are compact and easy to carry—perfect for travel or even just a simpler bedside setup.

Low Maintenance

CPAP devices require regular cleaning and part replacements, which can be a hassle. Oral appliances, however, need only basic cleaning, making them a hassle-free choice.

Higher Compliance Rates

Studies indicate that patients often prefer Oral Appliance Therapy for its simplicity, leading to higher compliance rates than CPAP. With regular use, patients typically experience reduced snoring, better sleep quality, and significant health benefits like lower blood pressure.

Who Can Benefit from Oral Appliance Therapy?

Oral Appliance Therapy is a great choice for anyone who struggles with the comfort or usability of CPAP machines. This custom-fitted device is small, discreet, and fits securely in your mouth like a night guard, with no need for tubes or headgear. It’s especially beneficial for individuals who find CPAP intolerable, those who feel claustrophobic, or those who are sensitive to noise.

This treatment not only improves sleep for the person with sleep apnea but also benefits bed partners who can finally enjoy quieter, restful nights. With Oral Appliance Therapy, both patients and their partners wake up refreshed and ready for the day.

Our Personalized Sleep Apnea Treatment Process

Consultation

Start your journey to better sleep with a consultation with Dr. Allen Ewell at Dentistry of Arizona. In this appointment, we’ll discuss your symptoms, assess risk factors, and conduct non-invasive evaluations of your airway to understand your needs. We’ll also arrange an at-home sleep study, covered by most medical insurance, to gather a detailed understanding of your sleep patterns.

At-Home Sleep Study

To properly diagnose the severity of your sleep apnea, we’ll provide an at-home sleep study that measures your sleep cycles and identifies where obstructions may occur. This valuable insight allows us to create an oral appliance customized to your needs, ensuring continuous, restful breathing each night.

Creating Your Custom Oral Appliance

Using your sleep study results and detailed mouth impressions or digital scans, we’ll create a custom-fit oral appliance designed to provide comfort and effective positioning. This personalized device helps keep your airway open, promoting restful sleep.

Follow-Up Care

Once you receive your appliance, we’ll schedule periodic follow-up visits to confirm that it fits comfortably and is effectively managing your sleep apnea symptoms. We’ll make any necessary adjustments and monitor your progress to support long-term improvements in sleep quality and overall health.
