HOW A NIGHT GUARD CAN HELP YOUR SLEEP APNEA

Airport Dental Care Blog How a Night Guard Can Help Your Sleep Apnea

 * 

Does intense snoring jolt you awake in the middle of the night? Do you
consistently wake up with a morning headache? Sleep apnea isn’t just a nuisance
at night — it can affect how you feel in the morning, your ability to think
clearly at work, and even your heart health.

Thankfully, sleep apnea can be managed. At Airport Dental Care in Austin, Texas,
Dr. Brian LaBombard treats sleep apnea with a custom-made night guard. If you’re
affected by the symptoms of sleep apnea, please call us so that we can help you
get the good night’s sleep you deserve.

In the meantime, continue reading to explore how a night guard can benefit you.


WHAT IS SLEEP APNEA?

Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes your airways to become
temporarily blocked, or obstructed. This is why the symptoms of sleep apnea are
intensified when you sleep flat on your back.

This can lead to: 

 * Gasping for air in the night
 * Increased nighttime trips to the bathroom
 * Intense snoring
 * Morning headaches
 * Insomnia

Sleep apnea can also cause jaw pain if you clench your jaw (bruxism) while you
sleep.


WHAT CAUSES SLEEP APNEA?

Obstructive sleep apnea is just one type of sleep apnea. The obstruction often
occurs when your tongue or other tissues drift back while you sleep. Obesity, a
family history of sleep apnea, and being male are three risk factors for sleep
apnea, but anyone can experience it.


SLEEP APNEA AND BRUXISM

Sleep apnea and bruxism are different conditions, but research indicates that
people with sleep apnea have a higher risk of clenching their jaw.

If your night is interrupted by intense snoring or gasping, and the morning
greets you with headaches or jaw pain, it’s likely that your sleep apnea is
contributing to sleep-related bruxism.

Fortunately, researchers found that treating sleep apnea can reduce the symptoms
of both sleep apnea and nighttime bruxism. 


NIGHT GUARDS FOR SLEEP APNEA 

A night guard, sometimes referred to as a mouth guard, fits into your mouth and
covers your teeth. When used as a sleep apnea treatment, a night guard holds
your jaw in the just-right position to prevent those dangerous airway
obstructions while you sleep. 

If your sleep apnea contributes to sleep-related bruxism, your night guard keeps
your top and bottom teeth separated while you sleep. In this way, getting a
custom night guard improves your quality of sleep by treating obstructive sleep
apnea and stopping jaw clenching.

Each night guard is custom made to ensure that your jaw stays in the right
position.

If sleep apnea is keeping you from feeling refreshed each morning, don’t wait
any longer to get a custom night guard. Call Dr. LaBombard at 512-668-9912 or
schedule an appointment online.
