Where can I find sleep apnea in Glendale?

To diagnose sleep apnea, you may need to participate in a sleep study conducted by a medical professional. Your doctor may observe symptoms such as heavy snoring, cessation of breathing and gasping. There are several recommended courses for treating sleep apnea, the most common of which is the CPAP machine, which helps supply air through the nasal passage, using air pressure to keep the airway open. Studies also show that an oral appliance can be beneficial in treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. When you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, the soft tissue at the back of your collapses when you sleep, blocking air flow. Your
85304 sleep apnea dentist can design an oral appliance, similar to a nightguard or an orthodontic retainer, which fits comfortably to support the jaw in a forward motion to open your airway. A dental appliance is custom designed using digital and physical impressions of your mouth. The appliance is easy to wear and to care for.
