Loud snoring can disrupt restful sleep, but it can also indicate an underlying medical condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (Apnea) or OSA. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a very under-recognised condition and can carry significant health risks. Snoring, whilst not medically harmful, can significantly affect personal relationships.
At Sakthi smile craft, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals who suffer from this condition with Custom-made Fully-adjustable Dental appliances, where they are indicated.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) implies a mechanical impedance to upper airway airflow. While there are several ways to manage OSA, one of the management strategies involves use of a specialized oral appliance.
These appliances are also useful in correcting mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea. Let’s Help You Get a Good Night Sleep.
How does oral appliance therapy work to treat snoring & obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?
For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, dental appliances or oral mandibular advancement devices that prevent the tongue from blocking the throat and/or advance the lower jaw forward can be made. These devices help keep the airway open during sleep.
This offers tremendous help in keeping the airway open, thereby preventing problems in breathing.
