Sleep Apnea Treatment

A Custom Mouthguard Provides Sleep Apnea Relief

Your lack of sleep goes beyond being tired – it can:

• • Weaken your immune system

• • Increase your risk for accidents

• • Make remembering things difficult

• • Lead to weight gain

• • Increase your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure

• • Result in feeling moody or depressed

Dr. John A. Moore can craft a custom sleep apnea mouthguard that will be comfortable and make it possible for you to breathe easier while sleeping. The mouthguard will move your lower jaw forward to create more space in the back of your mouth and throat for normal breathing. Plus, there’s an added benefit for your bed partner – no more disruptive snoring!

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when your airways become blocked while you’re sleeping. This blockage could be created by your tongue or the tissue and muscles in your throat relaxing. It can cause you to stop breathing dozens of times throughout the night. Sometimes this is treated with a CPAP machine, but a less invasive mouthguard could be the right solution for you.

Signs you could have obstructive sleep apnea include:

• • Loud, disruptive snoring

• • Waking up feeling tired despite having a full night’s sleep

• • Beginning each morning with a dry mouth or a sore throat
