Did you know: If your brain doesn’t get enough oxygen, your natural survival instinct kicks in and your body will fight to get the proper amount of oxygen. This cycle can happen tens or hundreds of times every single night for people who experience severe sleep apnea!
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the upper airway becomes obstructed during sleep, causing breathing to repeatedly stop and start. As a result, oxygen levels in the blood drop, triggering the brain to send signals to wake up and restart breathing.
This cycle of apnea (cessation of breathing) and arousal (waking up) can occur numerous times per hour, disrupting sleep quality and leading to daytime fatigue, decreased cognitive function, and an increased risk of various health problems.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of OSA, such as loud snoring, gasping or choking sounds during sleep, morning headaches, or excessive daytime sleepiness, it’s crucial to seek treatment right away. The reality is that sleep apnea is a dangerous disorder that can be fatal in cases when the body is unable to fight for enough oxygen. At Best Sleep Today, Dr. Scott Mason is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for individuals with sleep disorders.
While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is effective in treating sleep apnea, the bulky equipment can be hard to wear and sleep with. In fact, several Best Sleep Today patients have tried CPAP, but felt claustrophobic, uncomfortable, or unable to sleep when wearing the equipment. Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) is an alternative solution for those who cannot wear CPAP but still need an effective treatment. You can view one of our life-changing testimonials here.
At Best Sleep Today, Dr. Mason specializes in custom-fitting oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. These devices are much more comfortable and discreet than CPAP, and are an excellent option for individuals who prefer a more portable solution.
Our experienced team will guide you through the oral appliance fitting process, ensuring a comfortable experience and optimal therapy compliance. We also offer follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your device.
