Sleep allows the body time to rest and recover. People with sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea and snoring can experience effects on their daily life.
While you Sleep your body relaxes and muscles soften causing the tongue to drop back as it relaxes and reduce the airflow as you are breathing. The soft tissue may vibrate and this causes you to snore.
If you have obstructive sleep apnea your airway periodically closes over and prevents air from getting to your lungs as you sleep. An apea can last from anywhere from a ten seconds to an entire minute in severe cases. Multiple apeas through the night can cause sleep disturbance due to a lack of oxygen to the brain.
One of the treatment choices is a custom made Mandibular Advancement Splint such as SomnoDent. It is worn over your teeth and helps to hold your jaw forward, which in turn helps to open your airway.
The first step is to visit us at Skye Dental for a consultation to discuss further.
