Sleep Apnea Treatment

If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, Drs Rainey and Montalvo can improve the quality of your sleep with sleep apnea treatment. Many people with sleep apnea still struggle to sleep soundly due to uncomfortable and bulky devices that are traditionally used to combat sleep apnea symptoms. At Russell B. Rainey, DMD, we use the MicrO2 dental device to treat sleep apnea. This device is compact and comfortable to wear and is designed to alleviate your symptoms and help you sleep better.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder marked by interruptions and pauses in breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by obstructions in the airway, such as the tongue rolling back in the throat or collapsed tissues in the airway. Untreated sleep apnea can contribute to several serious health conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and liver problems.

Sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a sleep physician. We recommend that you talk to our dentists, as well as your physician if you suffer from sleep apnea symptoms. Common signs of sleep apnea include:

Extreme drowsiness during the day
Personality changes and irritability
Difficulty staying asleep
Waking up with a very dry or sore throat
Frequent morning headaches
Snoring

Sleep apnea treatment may depend on the severity of the condition. If you suffer from mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, our dentists may recommend a simple oral appliance. The appliance works to treat obstructive sleep apnea by fitting over your teeth and keeping your airway open while you sleep. It can work by preventing the tongue from blocking the air passage or by holding your jaw in a position that prevents airway blockages during sleep.
