14 Feb Improve Your Health With Oral Appliance Therapy
Proper rest at night can have a positive effect on your mental and physical health. If you often wake up feeling tired or have a sore throat, it could be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our team at Healthy Sleep Solutions in Winter Park, FL, can help diagnose and treat the condition, so you can snooze better and protect your health.
Know Your Risk Of OSA
It may be difficult to diagnose a sleep disorder because you may be unaware of your symptoms. If you have been told that you snore loudly, often wake up feeling tired, and have difficulty concentrating during the day, it could be a sign of sleep apnea. You can take our risk quiz before scheduling an appointment with your doctor for a diagnosis. Your doctor may also recommend that you take an at-home test to gather data while you rest. We can use this information to aid our diagnosis and determine what treatment may be most beneficial for your needs. Patients with a combination of two or more of these symptoms could be at a higher risk of a serious disorder. A prompt diagnosis can help you begin treatment earlier and protect your overall health.
Get Your Custom Oral Appliance
Patients may have used a CPAP machine in the past to help reduce their symptoms of this disorder. However, this device can be uncomfortable and frustrating for many patients. Your doctor may instead be able to create a custom oral appliance to reduce your symptoms and help you get better rest. A custom oral appliance may be able to help patients with OSA by keeping their airways open at night. To create your custom device, we will take an impression of your mouth. You will wear it each night as you rest to help stop snoring and breathe easier.
Benefits Of Treatment
Untreated OSA increases the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes, among other health issues. By beginning treatment with a custom oral appliance, you can reduce your symptoms and protect your overall health. After starting treatment, you may notice several positive improvements in your mental and physical health. Sleep apnea treatment can help you stop snoring, which can improve your and your spouse’s quality of rest. Since you are reaching a deeper state of rest at night with treatment, your energy levels can increase, and you may be able to concentrate better as well. Your physical health may also improve as you can avoid increasing your blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke.
