Many treatments are available for sleep apnea. Some of the most effective treatment plans reduce lifestyle-related risks while addressing the underlying problem. Smoking, certain medications, alcohol, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle can all contribute to sleep apnea symptoms and should be addressed. Many patients with sleep apnea also have small airways or excess tissue that collapses into the airways during sleep, which is why mouthguards are a common and highly successful treatment option.
Westlake Village dentist, Dr. Shindler, offers sleep apnea mouthguards that can keep the airways open. Two designs of mouthguards are available and can be custom-fitted to the individual contours of a patient and his or her smile for the best results. By maintaining an open airway during sleep, mouthguards ensure better sleep during the night and can help reduce the health risks that are commonly associated with sleep apnea.
