Sleep Apnea / Airway Obstruction
Turn to Us for Effective Sleep Apnea Treatment
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder. It is potentially fatal and causes you to stop breathing while you’re sleeping. This is due to the body’s muscles relaxing and causing the soft tissue of the airway to collapse, obstructing the airway. Let Ark City Dental check you for sleep apnea and make recommendations that may help.
If obstructive sleep apnea is untreated, it can lead to heart disease, stroke, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea diminishes the overall quality of life and adversely affects the sleep quality of snorer’s partner.
Our Sleep Apnea Treatment Procedures
Oral appliances such as EMA to treat snoring and sleep apnea are recommended by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. These appliances are portable, fit entirely inside the mouth, do not use electricity or make noise that would bother a sleeping partner, and allow the wearer to change sleep positions. EMA allows you to talk and drink freely. It has latex-free EMA elastic straps and is completely free of metals.
You’ll be pleased to know that you can change the EMA elastic straps yourself, so you don't have to visit the dentist every time to change them. Visit us
