Snoring. Low energy. Brain fog. Irritability. Experiencing these exhausting symptoms could indicate more than a poor night’s sleep. You may be experiencing obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA.
Why Many People Avoid Sleep Apnea Treatment
You might be hesitant to pursue a sleep study, because when most people think of OSA, they think a clumsy continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device is the only option for relief. Many people would rather deal with the negative effects of OSA than use the CPAP machine and mask to sleep for the rest of their lives.
A Less Invasive Alternative to CPAP
But there’s a less invasive alternative. If you’ve been diagnosed with OSA, your sleep problems could be solved with a simple oral appliance from our dentist in Mesa at Rauch Family Dentistry. This device fits over your teeth, similar to a bite guard, and has none of the downsides of positive airway pressure therapy.
Benefits of Oral Appliances for OSA
Oral appliances for OSA are:
- easy to wear
- small and portable
- simple to care for
- silent and discrete
- free of tubes or face straps
If the thought of adjusting to a CPAP machine has you losing even more sleep, contact Rauch Family Dentistry in Mesa, AZ to schedule an evaluation to find out if oral appliance therapy will help you sleep better. Because, you deserve more energy and more clarity (and fewer kicks at night because you’re snoring too loudly).
