How will your continued issues with sleep apnea affect your life? If you let it remain untreated, this condition can affect your mood, energy levels, and health in ways that are difficult to ignore. Unfortunately, people sometimes put off treatment because they are concerned about discomfort associated with its treatment. At our Livonia/Detroit, MI dentist’s office, we can provide an effective means of managing your breathing difficulties while you rest, and we can do so with a custom appliance that is made to offer a secure and reliable fit. Using an oral appliance to treat this problem can help you breathe more easily, which helps you enjoy better rest and improve your well-being!
Sleep Apnea Affects Your Breathing While You Sleep
A person who struggles with sleep apnea will have difficulty completing their rest cycles. Obstructive sleep apnea refers to trouble with interference that blocks your airways, something that your body has to wake you to address. The longer it takes for you to do something about this problem, the more time you spend unable to enjoy proper rest. While many people take on their breathing troubles with a CPAP machine, an alternative approach to care with a custom appliance can help. We rely on imaging technology to make planning your procedure more comfortable before we provide the guard that is carefully crafted to stay secure and address your breathing troubles.
Using Imaging Technology And Appliance Therapy To Take On Nightly Breathing Difficulties
Through the use of intraoral scans, we can gather the information that we need to produce personalized oral appliances that correct sleep apnea difficulties. Because we can use this, we can replace the process of creating a physical mold to design your appliance, which can make you more comfortable as we determine what you need from the guard you will receive. When your oral appliance is ready, you will be able to use it to keep your airways free from interference. This puts a stop to snoring as well as the breaks in your breathing that force your body to awaken and lower the quality of your nightly rest.
The Consequences Of Leaving Sleep Apnea Untreated
If you let sleep apnea continue to affect you, there are several consequences, including serious physical risks from elevated blood pressure! The inability to remain asleep through the night will hurt your natural recovery processes, and it will also lower the energy you have for the next day. There are also problems with mood, focus, and your ability to manage your mental well-being associated with this condition.
