Sleep Apnea

Understanding Sleep Apnea | Contemporary Dental Design, Arlington Heights, IL

Sleep apnea is a common condition that causes interruptions in breathing during sleep. These pauses can occur multiple times throughout the night, leading to disrupted sleep and daytime fatigue. One primary form is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where the airway becomes blocked due to relaxed throat muscles.

Signs and Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Early identification of sleep apnea is crucial for effective treatment. Common signs and symptoms include:

• Loud Snoring: Often the first indicator, especially if it disrupts others.
• Breathing Cessation Episodes: Witnessed by a partner or family member.
• Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: Persistent tiredness despite a full night's sleep.
• Morning Headaches: Waking up with headaches that ease as the day progresses.
• Difficulty Concentrating: Struggling to focus or stay alert during the day.
• Irritability: Mood swings or irritability due to poor sleep quality.

If you experience any combination of these symptoms, seek professional evaluation and treatment.

Introducing the Full Breath Solution at Contemporary Dental Design

Traditional sleep apnea treatment often involves using a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine, which delivers a steady stream of air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep. While CPAP therapy is effective, it’s not always comfortable for everyone.

At Contemporary Dental Design in Arlington Heights, IL, we offer the Full Breath Solution as a comfortable and effective alternative for managing sleep apnea without a CPAP machine. Using advanced dental technology, the Full Breath Solution repositions the tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing or eliminating sleep apnea symptoms.
