This occurs when the lower jaw becomes so relaxed during sleep that it collapses into the throat, blocking air and preventing the flow of oxygen to the brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms associated with obstructive sleep apnea include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic, loud snoring<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent waking throughout the night<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent migraines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daytime fatigue, confusion<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect you or a loved one are suffering from sleep apnea, don\u2019t wait another day to seek a solution. With sleep apnea therapy in Weatherford, relief is closer than you may think.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How a removable oral device treats sleep apnea<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is a CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, machine &#8212; a noisy, bulky device that often provides more interruptions than the condition itself. A removable oral device provides a wonderful solution for patients who aren\u2019t interested in trying or who haven\u2019t been able to find relief with a CPAP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oral device looks something like the type of mouthguard athletes wear, and is a wonderful solution for treating obstructive sleep apnea. It works by holding the lower jaw and tongue into place during sleep, preventing their collapse and allowing air to flow without interruption throughout the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of a removable device for sleep apnea therapy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to other options in sleep apnea treatment, the benefits of using a removable oral device are considerable. Some of them include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An oral device is silent, for everyone\u2019s benefit<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The small oral device is very portable, unlike a CPAP machine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Successful sleep apnea therapy helps you regain all the benefits of a full night\u2019s sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact Us Today!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you interested in helping yourself or a loved one overcome the exhausting effects of sleep apnea with a removable oral device?
