So, what does our Montgomery, AL sleep apnea treatment look like? Traditionally, sleep apnea is handled using a CPAP machine. Although this device is effective in forcing air through the obstructed airway, many patients find it even more disruptive to their sleep than sleep apnea itself. Instead, Woodmere Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Montgomery, AL can provide a customized oral appliance that moves your lower jaw forward. In this position, facial tissues do not block your airway, allowing you to breathe more effectively and sleep better.
Common Issues for sleep apnea treatment:
- Waking up gasping or coughing
- Waking up with a very sore or dry throat
- Loud, excessive snoring
- Morning headaches
- Irritability or fatigue
- Sleepiness throughout the day or while driving
