sleep apnea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Improvements in Sleep and Snoring<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s no surprise that a dental device customized to open your airway will improve the quality of your sleep overall. However, what many people forget to take note of is the improvements it makes on your snoring. Those with sleep apnea tend to also exhibit very loud snoring that disturbs those around them. This snoring can be so severe that it forces people that would otherwise be sharing a bed with them out of the room entirely. Obviously this isn\u2019t the patient\u2019s fault, but it\u2019s just another benefit to keep in mind should you be weighing your options.<\/p>\n
Effective as an CPAP Alternative or Add-On<\/h2>\n
Speaking of options, the continuous positive airway pressure machine is often touted as the gold standard for sleep apnea treatment. Unfortunately, the device is also coupled with many compliance issues; patients often feel claustrophobic while trying to use it. Oral devices feel very similar to nightguards and require no facial coverings in order to use. For some, an oral appliance can be used in tandem with a CPAP machine turned to a lower setting. Regardless, it can make the lives of CPAP machine users a whole lot simpler.<\/p>\n
Non-Invasive and Affordable<\/h2>\n
In more severe sleep apnea cases, people may consider surgery as a solution. However, it\u2019s more likely than not that even if there are noticeable benefits after surgery, the same tissue that was causing the airway blockage will reappear after a certain period of time. Additionally, surgery for sleep apnea can be very costly, and in some cases it won\u2019t even be worth the cost if the problem only resurfaces later. A custom sleep apnea dental device is far more affordable; plus if it doesn\u2019t meet your standards, there\u2019s no reason to need to go back under the knife to make adjustments.<\/p>\n
A Quick and Simple Transition Period<\/h2>\n
Finally, unlike traditional sleep apnea treatments, dental devices are much easier to get started using. By simply wearing the appliance, people often experience noticeable improvements in sleep quality within the first week. Some patients even report improvements after just a few days! When you can get the sleep you need, it\u2019s amazing what a difference it can make on your quality of life.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Did you know that sleep apnea is a hidden health crisis in the United States? It\u2019s estimated that sleep apnea afflicts nearly 30 million men and women across the U.S. Reports also indicate that the condition accounts for $87 billion of lost productivity each year. Of course, this doesn\u2019t even go into the health concerns you should know about if you have sleep apnea in Costa Mesa.<\/p>\n
