Improve Your Health and Sleep Quality with a Sleep Mouthguard
At Groth Dental, we offer exceptional general dental care as well as effective treatment for sleep disorders. Our custom mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth while you sleep, gently applying pressure to your lower jaw to keep your airway open. Many patients prefer this option over using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea treatment.
A mouthguard will:
- Help you breathe easier, rest better, and feel better
- Improve your long-term health by lessening the risk of harmful conditions associated with obstructive sleep apnea
- Stop air from passing across the soft tissues in the back of your throat, so you’ll snore less or not at all
- Be more convenient to use than a CPAP, with no need for batteries or electricity
- Require no mask or hose that can distract you or your bed partner
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea. It occurs when the tongue and other tissues in the back of your throat relax and block your airway during sleep. OSA can cause you immediate problems with grogginess and irritability. It has also been linked to long-term problems related to strokes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea.
Sleep apnea is a condition caused when your airway becomes obstructed while you sleep. This usually occurs when your tongue or other soft tissue in your mouth temporarily relaxes. This causes frequent interruptions in your breathing that make it nearly impossible for you – and often your bed partner – to get a good night’s rest.
