What Is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep apnea, causing momentary, frequent episodes that cause the sleeper to temporarily stop breathing. As a result of the lack of oxygen, the brain will signal the sleeper to wake, often leading to gasping for breath. This can happen as often as 50 times every hour, eventually impacting much more than just your quality of rest. The lack of deep sleep in addition to decreasing oxygen can increase your risk of other health conditions as well, like heart problems, strokes, and high blood pressure.
How We Treat Sleep Apnea
Many obstructive sleep apnea sufferers opt to start their treatment journey with CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy. While this is highly effective for many people, as it keeps the airways open as you rest, many people find it uncomfortable or even intolerable. Fortunately, there is an alternative!
Dr. Burman offers oral appliance therapy as well, which can be used either on its own or in conjunction with CPAP therapy. It’s a customized oral appliance that can be worn as you sleep to help shift your mouth in such a way that your airway will remain open. No noise, no discomfort, and sleek and easy to use.
