What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a condition that occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much during sleep, causing your airway to become partially or completely blocked. This causes you to stop breathing temporarily, and sometimes hundreds of times per night, without you even realizing it.

The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and it often goes undiagnosed because many symptoms happen while you’re asleep. That’s why it’s important to watch for warning signs and get an evaluation if you suspect something’s wrong.

Signs You May Have Sleep Apnea

You may be dealing with sleep apnea if you experience:

  • Loud, persistent snoring
  • Waking up gasping for air
  • Daytime fatigue or trouble concentrating
  • Morning headaches or dry mouth
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Difficulty staying asleep

Many patients don’t know they have it until a partner notices the symptoms or until they start feeling the long-term effects. If this sounds like you, just reach out to us, we’re here to help!

How We Treat Sleep Apnea

At Serene Dental, we treat mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea with custom oral appliances. These appliances gently reposition your lower jaw while you sleep, keeping your airway open and reducing interruptions to your breathing.

Compared to CPAP machines, oral appliances are:

  • Quiet and discreet
  • Comfortable and easy to wear
  • Travel-friendly
  • Custom-fitted for a secure and effective solution

This is a non-invasive treatment that can help you rest easy and feel better. We’ll carefully evaluate your needs to determine if oral appliance therapy is right for you.
