Not Wearing Your CPAP? There Is A Comfortable Alternative!

If you have been diagnosed with a sleeping disorder such as sleep apnea, you might have spent quite a lot of time reading up on the subject – and, perhaps, finding yourself more than a little intimidated at the CPAP mask that you may need to use.

What might come as a bit of a shock, however, is that the dental profession has been studying sleep related problems for many, many years and believe that much of the problems, including those of snoring can be substantially reduced by the use of an incredibly simple, but extremely comfortable AND effective dental appliance. While many studies have cited some incredibly complicated findings, the bottom line is that wearing dental appliance, at night, while you sleep, can prevent vibrations as well as the collapse of the upper airway – two issues that have been found to contribute greatly to sleeping disorders.

This appliance is only used during sleep and can easily be removed and inserted when necessary, which can make having a comfortable night’s sleep entirely possible!

As both the medical and dental communities continue to look for safe, comfortable and effective ways of dealing with sleep disorders, you may very well want to take the time to discuss your options with your dentist – no more snoring! Imagine the possibilities.

Sleep Apnea and Snoring Do Not Have To Be A Problem

How many times have you commented on how tired you are when you wake up in the morning? Unfortunately, stress and other related issues make having a good night’s sleep, for some of us, quite a challenge. However, for others, getting the sleep they need is actually associated with a very real medical problem called sleep apnea and, as a matter of fact, people who snore extensively and regularly have also been singled out as having serious problems getting a healthy night’s sleep. Additionally, of course, anyone who sleeps next to a constant “snorer” is also subject to poor sleeping habits!

While CPAP has been designed specifically to treat people with sleep apnea, there have been many negative side effects associated with this treatment – mainly when it comes to the comfort level and practicality of the treatment. Imagine having to sleep with a hard mask over your face – while you may be breathing easier, you are certainly not enjoying a comfortable night – as this mask makes moving around quite the challenge.

Fortunately, there is an alternative that has been developed, thanks to a dental community, who believes that these respiratory issues can easily be addressed by a simple and highly effective oral appliance that is popped into the mouth just before going to bed. While you are sleeping this clever little device makes sure that all your air passages are appropriately open and that you get the air you need. Actually, it is quite amazing just how different this little device is compared to that large and uncomfortable night mask! Imagine being able to get up in the morning refreshed and without any muscle aches associated with restricted sleep. Of course, we won’t even mention the health benefits a good night’s sleep will bring both to you and your partner and sleeping can, once again, be a joy!

So, if you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, there is reason for optimism – discuss your situation with a qualified dentist and get the information and help you need – you will be amazed at the difference a good night’s sleep can make.
