Each night do you have a routine? Do you take a shower, read
a book and then play nice sleep sounds that help rock you to sleep? Do you hope
that tonight is the night where you are going to wake up feeling rested and
ready for your day? Do you keep hoping, but find when you finally wake up that
you feel as tired as when you went to bed? If so, you may have sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea impacts “over 18 million adults in the world,” (Sleepdex.org,
2016).
Sleep apnea is caused when the person is unable to get air
when they are sleeping due to an obstruction in the airway that leaves one
gasping for air. Many suffer from this without knowing. You may be unaware of
how often you are waking up in the night. And while more research is being done
about sleep apnea, it is still not 100% clear what causes it, but what is
clear, is how Dr. Judy Strutz and her team can help create a dental device to
help with your sleep apnea.
Many choose not to be treated for sleep apnea because of the
fear of having to get a big machine that makes a lot of noise with a mask that
fits over your face and makes sleep uncomfortable, and for some that might be
an option, but for many others a dental device that fits comfortably in your
mouth may take care of the issue. It helps to adjust your jaw in order to open
up the airway to prevent it from collapsing.
