Sleep Apnea in North Austin
Waking up frequently each night, or being kept up by a snoring partner often has a common culprit: sleep apnea. Many choose to visit a medical doctor for help, but they’re left with a costly bill. Dr. Scaff has good news: he can help, and no surgery is required!
What is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition triggered by the loss of tone in the back of the throat during sleep. As a person enters sleep, the upper airways can become blocked, restricting oxygen flow. Some may notice symptoms that can include persistent snoring, tossing and turning, and even waking up gasping for air.
Sufferers of sleep [apnea] also note daytime sleepiness, dry mouth or throat in the mornings, fatigue, moodiness, or headaches.
A Non-invasive Solution
At Brian F. Scaff DDS, the team is happy to offer a non-invasive solution to combat the effects of snoring and certain types of sleep apnea.
A custom-fit jaw device may offer fast and effective results for snoring and mild sleep [apnea]. This device works by gently pulling the jaw forward, which opens the airway and allows a person to breathe more freely.
