Snoring is often more than just a nighttime annoyance. It can be a sign of an underlying issue like sleep apnea or restricted airflow. Left untreated, chronic snoring can adversely impact sleep quality, resulting in daytime fatigue, irritability, impaired short-term memory, and even an increased risk of health issues like high blood pressure. Fortunately, Dr. Ryan Rush in Fort Collins offers effective snoring treatments to help patients breathe easier and sleep better!
How Does Your Fort Collins Dental Practice Treat Snoring?
One of the most common and comfortable solutions provided by Dr. Rush is a custom oral appliance. These specially designed devices help by:
- Repositioning with a properly fitted appliance to move the lower jaw slightly forward and keep the airway open
- Preventing soft tissues in the throat from collapsing during sleep and blocking airflow
- Enhancing sleep quality and reducing fatigue through more restful sleep thanks to better airflow
Unlike CPAP machines, which can be bulky and uncomfortable, oral appliances are small, easy to wear, and travel-friendly—and Dr. Ryan Rush customizes each device to ensure a perfect fit for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
