Sleep Apnea Q & A
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts, often due to a blocked airway. Common symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and daytime fatigue. Sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other health issues.
How Can AICD Treat Sleep Apnea?
AICD can treat mild to moderate sleep apnea with oral appliances. Worn at night, these custom-made devices reposition the jaw to keep the airway open, reducing snoring and improving airflow. Oral appliance therapy is a convenient alternative to CPAP machines for many patients.
What Are the Signs I Might Have Sleep Apnea?
Common signs of sleep apnea include loud snoring, waking up gasping or choking, morning headaches, dry mouth, and feeling excessively tired during the day. If you experience these symptoms, a sleep study can confirm if sleep apnea is present and determine its severity.
Is Oral Appliance Therapy Effective for Sleep Apnea?
Yes, oral appliance therapy is effective for many people with mild to moderate sleep apnea. Custom-made appliances are comfortable, easy to use, and can significantly reduce symptoms, improving both sleep quality and overall health.
