Snoring is a common sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by noisy breathing during sleep. It occurs when the airway becomes partially blocked, causing vibrations in the throat tissues as air passes through. Snoring can disrupt your sleep quality and lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, and other health problems if left untreated.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a more serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated episodes of complete or partial airway obstruction during sleep. These interruptions in breathing can cause brief awakenings throughout the night, leading to fragmented sleep, oxygen desaturation, and an increased risk of health complications. Conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and stroke are among the potential risks, alongside impacts on mood and overall well-being.
At Centre Dentaire Laval, our process starts with a thorough assessment of your sleep habits, symptoms, and medical background. This comprehensive evaluation helps us screen for potential sleep disorders and identify whether you're a suitable candidate for the creation of oral orthosis. Our experienced team works closely with sleep specialists and other healthcare providers to ensure an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
For mild to moderate cases of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy may be recommended as a non-invasive treatment option. These custom-made devices are designed to reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and improving airflow for a more restful night's sleep. Once a physician has diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and recommended the use of an oral appliance, we can move forward with the fabrication of such a device tailored to your needs.
