Snoreguards/Sleep Apnea
Snoring and sleep apnea can make you feel irritable, tired, and unfocused during the day. If you stop breathing for 10 or more seconds repeatedly while sleeping, you might have obstructive sleep apnea. Soft tissues and shifting of the palate while a person sleeps can restrict or impair airflow. In this situation, the brain responds, waking the patient to breathe. Often sleep apnea patients awaken suddenly, gasping or choking for air. Deep, restful REM sleep is never achieved, so the body feels unrefreshed during waking hours.
Dr. Carter can alleviate snoring and sleep apnea in some cases. Our appliances hold the mouth in a comfortable position that keeps the airway open during sleep. Snoreguards and other appliances are comfortable - much more so than a CPAP mask - so they provide a conservative, simple solution for many sleep apnea patients.
Call today for more information on snoreguards or other appliances for sleep apnea therapy. Dr. Carter and our caring dental team will be happy to restore your sleep and your quality of life. Located on South Colorado Blvd. and Exposition in Denver, CO, we serve patients from Glendale, Cherry Creek, and surrounding areas.
