Do you often wake up with a jolt, gasping for air, or notice your partner’s worry as you snore excessively at night? You might be dealing with a serious condition known as sleep apnea. Here at Sleep Better Philly, we promote restful, uninterrupted sleep as an essential aspect of overall health.

Through our comprehensive treatment approach for sleep apnea, you, too, can experience the life-changing benefits of proper treatment for this common sleep disorder.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by repeated stopping and starting of breathing during sleep. It’s more than just bothersome snoring. It’s a serious condition that interrupts your sleep, affects your daily life, and potentially leads to heart problems down the line. The condition affects millions of people, especially the middle-aged and elderly, so you’re not alone.

How Can Sleep Apnea Treatment Help You?

Non-Invasive and Comfortable

Sleep Apnea treatment often incorporates the use of devices such as oral appliance therapy, which is designed to be non-invasive, meaning it does not require any surgery or complex procedures. The device is similarly comfortable to use at night, providing you with a simple solution that allows you to get the sleep you need without discomfort.

Improved Compliance

Since sleep apnea treatments like CPAP don't involve surgery and are painless, patients are usually more willing to use them, which improves overall treatment compliance consistently. Regular use of these treatments can significantly reduce sleep apnea symptoms and improve overall health outcomes.

Enhanced Sleep Quality

By keeping the airway open, dental treatments for sleep apnea improve the quality of your sleep. With fewer apneas and disruptions in breathing, you'll enjoy restorative and uninterrupted sleep, waking up feeling refreshed and more alert.

Increased Energy and Alertness

Improving sleep quality through dental treatments for sleep apnea can lead to increased daytime energy and alertness. By addressing the root cause of fragmented sleep, these treatments contribute to increased alertness during the day, making it easier to concentrate, stay focused, and stay awake, particularly during tasks that demand your attention.

Reduced Risk of Health Complications

Untreated sleep apnea can lead to a host of health problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes. Treating sleep apnea helps lower the risk of developing or exacerbating these conditions. You're actively protecting your overall well-being by improving your cardiovascular health and regulating blood pressure.

Our Treatment Approach for Sleep Apnea at Sleep Better Philly

There are several treatment options for sleep apnea, including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), oral appliance therapy, and surgery. While we don’t provide surgery, we recommend a non-invasive option, which is oral appliance therapy.

Oral appliance therapy is non-invasive, comfortable, and highly effective in treating mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea. They are custom-made devices that fit comfortably in your mouth, similar to a sports mouthguard or orthodontic retainer. However, unlike these devices, oral appliances are designed to keep your airway open while sleeping.

They work by positioning your jaw slightly forward, preventing soft tissue collapse in the back of your throat. This keeps your airway open and allows you to breathe freely without interruption, reducing or eliminating sleep apnea episodes.
