Get a Full and Restful Night’s Sleep
Sleep apnea is a common condition with symptoms that include sleep loss, loud snoring, bad headaches, and exhaustion throughout the day. If you or someone you’re with suffer from loud snoring or sleep apnea, Dr. Thirtha here in Irving, TX can give you the relief you need with a custom fit Oral Appliance.
Custom oral appliances for the treatment of sleep apnea have become more and more popular as a growing awareness among the public that oral appliances are an effective first line treatment for many sleep apnea sufferers.
These appliances are worn while you sleep, just like a sports mouth guard or an orthodontic appliance. Oral appliances hold the lower jaw forward just enough to keep the airway open and prevent the tongue and muscles in the upper airway from collapsing and blocking the airway.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has approved custom oral appliance therapy (OAT) as a first line treatment for patients diagnosed with mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The AASM also recommends custom oral appliances for patients with severe OSA, who are unable to tolerate CPAP devices.
