We Treat Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Mississauga
The most common type of sleep apnea is called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It occurs when your airway closes while sleeping. Breathing through a narrow airway or windpipe is exhausting and it causes vibrations, which results in snoring sound. A slight shift in your jaw position can change the shape of your airway. The tissue in your throat collapses and tongue falls back into the throat resulting in a small opening to breathe through. However, there is no need to panic, as this condition is treatable. Schedule your appointment with Raamya Dentistry in Mississauga for treatment of snoring and sleep apnea.
Symptoms and Conditions Linked to Sleep Apnea
You stop breathing when your airway or windpipe collapses completely. The absence of oxygen forces your brain to wake up from sleep. Although you may not know that you had stopped breathing, you may feel unease when you wake up. If you have mild sleep apnea, you may stop breathing a couple of times in an hour. But in severe cases, you may stop breathing as many as 30 times an hour or more. The sleep apnea appliance holds your lower jaw in a forward position. So, your jaw does not shift or fall open during the night, thereby preventing your airway from collapsing. Don’t worry about your breathing problem; we are here for you.
