Medical studies estimate that nearly 50% of population between 40-60 years of age suffer from sleep disorders. Despite the fact that most people make light of snoring, in reality snoring is often a serious social problem. More importantly, snoring is often a symptom of a serious, potentially life-threatening medical condition called sleep apnea. Sleep apnea poses a significant health risk, remains largely undiagnosed and can lead to sleepiness during the day, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, headaches and muscle pain, diabetes, and stroke.

Snoring occurs during sleep when the relaxed soft tissues making up the borders of the airway close together, causing a partial obstruction or blockage, the vibration of these tissues together while breathing creates the snoring. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the first line and most effective treatment for severe sleep apnea. However, oral appliance therapy is a simpler and easier FDA-approved solution for patients that cannot tolerate CPAP therapy Oral appliances keep the airway unobstructed during sleep. Our dentists at Dental Associates of Arlington are highly trained in fitting and maintaining a wide variety of oral devices made to reposition the mandible, retain the tongue below the airway and provide positive airway space to limit apnea episodes and the related loss of sleep.

“Patients who have snoring or sleep disorders are not aware that oral appliances can solve their problems,” said Dr. Rachana Vora, DMD. “At Dental Associates of Arlington, our dental services focus on overall patient health, not just teeth.”
