Revolutionizing Sleep: The ProSomnus Sleep Oral Appliance

Enjoying peaceful, restorative sleep each night is an essential part of your overall physical and mental health. However, some individuals struggle with issues that prevent them from getting the rejuvenating sleep they need to feel and function their best each day. Two of the most common problems that can interrupt sleep patterns are snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. These are not only disruptive to your sleep but may lead to more serious concerns. Fortunately, Dr. Crary and the dentists at Aesthetic Dentistry of Stuart can offer you solutions designed to improve sleep quality to help you feel your best again each morning.

What Causes Snoring?

Snoring is a result of air passing through your airway as you sleep. The air vibrates the soft tissues of your throat and causes the sound we call snoring. As the muscles supporting your airways relax during sleep, the passage narrows, leaving less room for the air to travel. Though snoring is annoying and can disrupt the sleep of those near you, it is not always an indication of a more serious problem. However, people who experience snoring should consult a professional to ensure it isn’t the result of an underlying condition such as obstructive sleep apnea.

What Causes Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is also a result of the throat muscles relaxing during sleep. However, in this condition, the tissues of the throat and soft palate relax to a point where the airway is obstructed. This means that airflow is blocked and breathing temporarily stops. These episodes can repeat several times throughout the night and often lead to symptoms such as:

• Fatigue

• Insomnia

• Headaches

• Difficulty focusing

• Irritability

• Snoring

• Blood pressure problems

In some cases, OSA can also lead to more serious issues such as heart attacks or strokes. It is therefore essential that you seek treatment for obstructive sleep apnea from a qualified doctor or dentist.

Sleep Apnea Treatment Without CPAP

At Aesthetic Dentistry of Stuart, Dr. Crary offers sleep oral appliances that can resolve snoring and obstructive sleep apnea issues. Using ProSomnus, an FDA-approved oral appliance, Dr. Crary can help patients enjoy restorative nighttime sleep without the use of a noisy and cumbersome CPAP machine. At your appointment, she will fully review the list of benefits ProSomnus users enjoy, as well as determine if you’re a good fit for this life-changing technology.

How Does ProSomnus Work?

ProSomnus is a small oral appliance that looks and feels like a mouthguard. It is designed to move your lower jaw forward while you sleep, keeping it in a position that will prevent your airway from becoming obstructed. Your appliance will be fitted to your mouth using dental impressions, so you receive the best results. You will place it over your teeth each night before bed and will remove it again in the morning. Your ProSomnus can be cleaned with gentle soap and water, and unlike the upkeep required for a CPAP machine, there are no ongoing expenses.  

Benefits of ProSomnus vs. CPAP?

Some of the benefits to using ProSomnus sleep oral appliances include:

• Small size that fits in a purse or pocket

• Discreet

• No noise

• Comfortable

• Easy to use

• Easy to clean

• Custom-made for you

• No new or ongoing expenses

• No hoses or equipment to carry when traveling

• Generally covered by most insurances and Medicare

• Treats snoring and obstructive sleep apnea

Most ProSomnus users find they once again enjoy a more peaceful night’s rest and awaken with more energy and less grogginess in the morning. They also find they are better able to focus throughout the day and see a reduction in many of their other snoring and OSA symptoms.
