Sleep Apnea Treatment in Troy

If you answered yes, you may be suffering from a sleep disorder known as sleep apnea.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when the back of your throat collapses and blocks your airway, depriving your body (brain, heart) of oxygen. This can lead to:

  • Frequent headaches, especially in the morning
  • High blood pressure
  • Stroke
  • Heart attack or failure
  • Depression or mood swings

Sleep apnea is also dangerous because you may not even realize that you’re suffering from it, which can put your health at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sleep apnea can have a significant impact on your overall health, well-being, and quality of life. We offer custom oral appliances as a non-invasive treatment option for patients suffering from mild to moderate sleep apnea.
 
These oral appliances are specially designed to minimize sleep apnea by:
  • Repositioning the lower jaw forward slightly
  • Keeping the airway clear during sleep
  • Reducing or eliminating snoring
  • Improving oxygen flow throughout the night

Reclaim Your Rest

Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your specific case. We then create a custom-fitted oral appliance tailored to your mouth's unique structure, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
 
The oral appliance is worn while you sleep, much like a mouthguard. It works by gently holding your jaw in a position that prevents the soft tissues in your throat from collapsing. 
 
It's important to note that while oral appliances are effective for mild to moderate sleep apnea, severe cases may require different treatment approaches. We work closely with sleep specialists to ensure you receive the most appropriate care for your condition.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Sleep Apnea?

Since sleep apnea occurs while you’re sleeping, your sleep partner may have to assess some of your signs and symptoms, which might include:

  • Loud snoring that keeps your bed partner awake
  • Breathing pauses — Waking up choking, gasping, or coughing
  • Chronic fatigue or exhaustion
  • Dry mouth or a sore throat
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Difficulties focusing or concentrating during the day

Not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. If you’re keeping your partner awake at night with loud snoring, we can assess the condition and determine if a snore guard (mandibular adjustable positioners) may benefit you to prevent snoring or minimize the effects of sleep apnea.

Your physician should address severe cases of sleep apnea and will likely require continuous positive air pressure therapy (CPAP).

Snore guards are mandibular advancement devices that can often successfully manage mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea by slightly repositioning the jaw to hold it forward so the tongue and soft tissues of the throat do not collapse, causing snoring and sleep apnea.

To learn more about sleep apnea in Troy, MI, and possibly receive a diagnosis, you can see your physician for a sleep test or visit Degenhardt Dental for a sleep apnea screening test.
