This condition is more than an irritation\u2014it could also have major health implications if not addressed.<\/p>\n<p>OSA occurs when the airway becomes temporarily blocked during sleep. The tongue (or other mouth structures like tonsils or the uvula) is often the cause as it relaxes and covers the back of the throat. Although you\u2019re asleep, the brain notices the drop in oxygen and initiates arousal to unblock the airway. As this action usually only takes a few seconds, you may not fully awake every time; but because it can occur several times a night, it can rob you of the deep sleep you need for well-being.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re diagnosed with OSA, your doctor may recommend continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP). This treatment uses a pump device to supply continuous pressurized air through a hose connected to a face mask worn during sleep. The elevated pressure helps keep the airway open.<\/p>\n<p>While this approach is quite effective, many people find wearing the equipment uncomfortable or confining, and may choose not to use it. If that describes you, a qualified dentist may be able to provide you with an alternative called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240412202718\/https:\/\/www.cpapgone.com\/solutions\/sleep-oral-appliances\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oral appliance therapy<\/a>\u00a0(OAT).<\/p>\n<p>OAT uses a custom-made plastic oral appliance you wear while you sleep. The most common snaps over the teeth and uses a hinge mechanism to move the lower jaw (and the tongue with it) forward.<\/p>\n<p>OAT is recommended for people with mild to moderate OSA, or those with severe symptoms who can\u2019t tolerate CPAP. If you\u2019d like to see if an OAT appliance could help you, contact us for a complete oral examination. Either treatment can improve your sleep and daily lifestyle, as well as help prevent certain health issues in the future.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240412202718\/https:\/\/www.cpapgone.com\/solutions\/treatments-for-osa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">treatments for sleep apnea<\/a>, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240412202718\/https:\/\/www.cpapgone.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contact us<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0schedule an appointment\u00a0for a consultation.
