Your Schertz, TX, sleep experts want to provide a solution for your snoring and sleep apnea that is comfortable and easy to use!
When You Need a Sleep Appliance
When do you need to seek treatment for sleep apnea? The disorder interrupts your sleep hundreds of times a night in some cases. This is because soft tissues in the throat and rear of your mouth will collapse and cut off airflow. You stop breathing briefly, which interrupts your REM sleep even if you don’t remember this occurring, leaving you exhausted the next day. You could wake in the night gasping for air or choking, experience chronic snoring, and feel irritable and moody the next day, with difficulty concentrating, feeling alert, and with memory. Don’t let this impact your daily life, and cause issues down the road for your immune system and heart health. Talk to our team about an oral appliance.
A Custom-Fit
Our CPAP alternative will look and fit like a mouthguard, and is worn as you sleep at night. The device is crafted based on detailed digital images and measurements we take of your smile from multiple angles. In a dental lab, we use this to design and fabricate the oral appliance, ensuring it’s custom-fitted for your smile. When worn, this gently repositions the jaw and tongue to keep airways open and prevent collapse, so you can breathe without interruption and feel more rested and alert the next day. The device is easy to use and clean, and can travel with you as needed. This helps you rest, and doesn’t interrupt the rest of your significant other either.
Other Changes to Your Sleep Habit
Along with the oral appliance, you can make other positive changes to your smile too. For example, you can go to bed and wake up at the same time to maintain a sleep cycle that makes it easier to fall asleep. You can keep your bedroom dark and cool, and rest on your side instead of your back. Try to avoid screens in the hour before bed, and also avoid large meals, caffeinated products, vigorous exercise, or excessive alcohol right before bed too. If you have any questions about how to rest with ease, or if you want to start your journey with an oral appliance, then contact our team today.
