How Do Sleep Solutions Help?
Our sleep solutions at Lifeworks Dental are designed to address sleep-disordered breathing and sleep apnea. Sleep disorders can have many underlying causes, including improper airway function, misaligned jaws, and poor tongue posture. Symptoms of sleep disorders in adults may include:
- Loud snoring or gasping for air during sleep
- Excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating, mood swings, or irritability
- Waking up with a dry mouth, sore throat, or headache
- Interrupted breathing or pauses in breathing during sleep (common with sleep apnea)
We utilize non-invasive treatments that target the root cause of your sleep issues, offering long-term solutions rather than just temporary relief. One of the key treatment options we provide is the Vivos System, which can help improve airway function, promote better breathing, and ensure a deeper, more restful sleep.
At Lifeworks Dental, we know that no two patients are the same. That’s why we create customized treatment plans based on your specific needs and symptoms. Our sleep solutions may include:
- Oral appliance therapy: A custom-made dental appliance that gently repositions the jaw, keeping the airway open during sleep. This is especially effective for treating mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea.
- Breathing exercises and airway therapy: Designed to improve muscle tone in the throat and tongue, helping to reduce airway obstruction and promote better breathing.
- Tongue positioning exercises: A treatment designed to address improper tongue posture, which can contribute to sleep-disordered breathing and snoring.
Each of these treatments is non-invasive, comfortable, and designed to improve your sleep quality without the need for surgery or prescription medications.
Why Early Treatment is Important
One of the most common sleep disorders we treat is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, causing interruptions in breathing. These pauses can last for several seconds and can happen repeatedly throughout the night, preventing you from reaching deep, restorative sleep stages.
If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health risks, including High blood pressure, Heart disease, Stroke, Diabetes, & Chronic fatigue.
Additionally, sleep apnea has been linked to weight gain, depression, and impaired cognitive function. Early diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea are essential to prevent these complications and ensure you get the restorative sleep your body needs.
Signs You May Need Sleep Solutions
Many adults experience sleep-disordered breathing or sleep apnea without realizing it. If you suspect you may have a sleep disorder, here are some signs to look out for:
