What is Sleep Apnea?

Dr. Daniel Voorhees with sleep apnea patientSleep apnea is a serious and potentially life-threatening disorder involving repeated pauses in breathing while asleep. The most common form of this condition is obstructive sleep apnea. This occurs when there is an obstruction of an individual’s airway that interferes with the flow of oxygen through the nose or mouth during sleep.

When a patient is afflicted with obstructive sleep apnea, the muscles of the throat and mouth relax during sleep to the point where they fall back into the upper airway and create a blockage that restricts breathing.

Symptoms of sleep apnea disorder include:

  • Loud snoring
  • Cessation of breathing during sleep
  • Waking up abruptly
  • Episodes of gasping for air
  • Poor sleep quality
  • Tiredness and fatigue
  • Morning headache
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability

How is Sleep Apnea Diagnosed?

A sleep study is typically conducted to determine the severity of sleep apnea and its associated symptoms. At Brilliant Smiles, the results of your sleep study and health history will help our team determine your recommended sleep apnea treatment.

The Brilliant Smiles dentistsSleep apnea therapy often includes:

  • A CPAP machine worn while sleeping. The CPAP provides a steady stream of pressurized air into the respiratory system through a breathing mask.
  • Dental appliances. For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, a custom-fitted dental appliance may be recommended. Sleep apnea night guards are designed to keep the tongue and soft tissues in the back of the throat from collapsing, helping the airway stay open during sleep.

At our Austin dental office, sleep apnea mouth guards are design to be worn in a similar fashion to an orthodontic retainer. Your sleep apnea appliance will be custom-designed to fit you best, designed for both comfort and effectiveness.
