Tired of Waking Up Exhausted? There May Be a Reason
If you’re constantly tired—even after a full night’s sleep—it could be more than just a busy schedule. Sleep apnea is a common condition that disrupts your breathing while you sleep, often without you realizing it.
At Smile Studio of Midtown, Dr. Stephen Brockbank offers customized sleep apnea treatment to help you breathe more easily at night and wake up feeling more rested, focused, and energized.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway obstruction.
Common signs and symptoms include:
- Loud snoring
- Waking up gasping or choking
- Daytime fatigue or sleepiness
- Morning headaches
- Difficulty concentrating
- Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking
Because it happens during sleep, many people don’t realize they have it until symptoms start affecting daily life.
Why Sleep Apnea Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Sleep apnea doesn’t just affect your sleep—it can impact your overall health.
Untreated sleep apnea has been linked to:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Increased risk of stroke
- Chronic fatigue and reduced focus
Getting the right treatment can improve both your sleep and your long-term health.
How Dental Sleep Apnea Treatment Works
For many patients, oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable alternative to traditional CPAP machines.
A custom oral appliance works by:
- Gently repositioning your jaw to keep the airway open
- Reducing or eliminating snoring
- Improving airflow during sleep
- Helping you achieve deeper, more restful sleep
These appliances are small, quiet, and easy to travel with—making them a convenient option for many patients.
Is an Oral Appliance Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for dental sleep apnea treatment if you:
- Have been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea
- Struggle to tolerate a CPAP machine
- Experience chronic snoring or disrupted sleep
- Want a more comfortable, portable solution
We’ll work with you—and your physician if needed—to determine the best approach.
