What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. These pauses can occur multiple times throughout the night, leading to disrupted sleep patterns and potentially severe health consequences if left untreated. Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, daytime fatigue, morning headaches, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

Treatment Options

Dr. Nikki Mazhari, a leading member of our dental team, has completed her residency in Sleep Apnea at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. With her specialized training and expertise, she is dedicated to helping patients find relief from sleep apnea and its associated symptoms.

Dr. Mazhari is qualified and certified to provide mandibular appliances, a popular and effective treatment option for sleep apnea and snoring. Mandibular appliances are custom-made oral devices that are worn during sleep to reposition the jaw and keep the airway open, reducing the frequency of breathing pauses and improving overall sleep quality.

Dentists play a crucial role in addressing sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Through the field of dental sleep medicine, dentists can provide effective solutions, particularly for cases of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA occurs when the muscles in the throat relax excessively, leading to a partial or complete blockage of the airway. Dentists specializing in sleep apnea often prescribe oral appliances, also known as mandibular advancement devices (MADs) or tongue-retaining devices (TRDs). These custom-fitted devices are designed to reposition the jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction, thus promoting better airflow during sleep. By collaborating with sleep physicians and conducting thorough evaluations, dentists can tailor these devices to each patient's unique needs, offering a non-invasive alternative for those who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Regular follow-ups and adjustments ensure the optimal effectiveness of these devices, emphasizing the integral role that dentists play in enhancing sleep quality and overall well-being for individuals struggling with sleep apnea.
