According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep apnea affects as many as 18 million Americans. Left untreated, it can lead to a multitude of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, memory loss, severe headaches, weight gain, and more. In many cases, sleep apnea results from a blocking or collapse of the individual’s airway during sleep. This, in turn, causes the sleeper to awaken dozens or even hundreds of times during the night.
Dentists can help their patients effectively manage sleep apnea by selecting from an array of mandibular advancement appliances which push the lower jaw forward, keeping the airway open during sleep.
