Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by repeated pauses in your breathing as you sleep. This can occur when the muscles around your airways relax, allowing gravity to pull them shut. The momentary suffocation that develops creates excessive strain on the body, which can result in health complications such as mood change, weight gain, fatigue, hypertension, and memory loss. There are lots of sleep or snoring apnea alternatives to choose from, varying from airway surgeries like an adenoidectomy, maxillofacial surgery, and tonsillectomy to the use of a CPAP machine. Sometimes people are not happy with those solutions. In these cases, they might turn to dental alternatives to help take care of the issue. At Robert M. Taylor III, DDS in Bay City, MI, we concentrate on producing custom-fit night guards to offer relief to our sleep apnea patients. Dr. Robert M. Taylor III is pleased to offer you this easy, comfortable, and reliable support that will help you attain better health and wellness.
What to Expect from Sleep Apnea Treatments
At Robert M. Taylor III, DDS, we offer a treatment known as oral appliance therapy (OAT), which has been shown to be effective for patients living with sleep apnea. OAT treatment for sleep apnea involves a customized device you wear in your mouth while you sleep. It can be compared to a mouthguard for sports or even a retainer. The principal difference is that rather than guarding your teeth against harm, it gently places the jaw into a forward position to continue to keep your airway open. There are more than a hundred unique models on the market, so Dr. Taylor will work with you to be certain you receive the right one for you. He can help make this determination after performing an evaluation of your teeth, jaw, tongue, and airway. You will also have oral x-rays taken so that our office can make impressions of your teeth for your dental appliance.
