Improve Your Health With Sleep Apnea Treatment in Tigard, OR
If you suffer from sleep apnea, you're probably familiar with daytime fatigue, irritability, and a lack of focus. This is all because you wake frequently throughout the night as your body struggles to breathe. While you may be less aware of apnea's long-term effects, they are even worse. Research has linked the sleep disorder to health risks like high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and strokes.
Sleep apnea treatment in Tigard, OR will:
- Keep your airway open so you can breathe easily throughout the night
- Reduce your risk of high blood pressure and other negative health issues
- Improve your sleep quality so you awaken feeling rested and refreshed
- Boost your energy throughout the day
- Stop snoring that disturbs the sleep of others in your household
Even if you don't have apnea, an oral appliance can improve your relationships with your loved ones by reducing or eliminating your snoring. If you think you could have apnea, mention it to Dr. Williams or Dr. Madani during your next checkup. If you'd rather not wait, contact us today. You can schedule your visit as early as 7 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Feel Better With a Sleep Appliance
We can arrange a sleep test if we have reason to believe that you have apnea. After a formal diagnosis, your insurance may pay for at least part of your sleep apnea treatment. The key to treating this sleep disorder is ensuring your airway remains open while you are asleep.
The two most commonly prescribed methods of doing so are a CPAP machine and a custom-made oral appliance. The appliance works by moving your jaw slightly forward to keep your airway open. A CPAP pushes a stream of pressurized air into your throat. Many sleep apnea sufferers find an appliance easier to adjust to than a CPAP. The appliance is:
- Less Invasive - There is no mask or tubing to get in your way. An appliance fits comfortably inside your mouth much like a sports mouthguard.
- Easier to Use - Your appliance doesn't require any electricity, batteries, or distilled water. Plus, it is small enough to take with you anywhere.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea Treatment
What is sleep apnea and how does it affect health?
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway obstruction. It leads to poor sleep quality, daytime fatigue, and increased health risks such as high blood pressure, heart stress, and metabolic issues. Recognizing the symptoms and seeking treatment improves your sleep comfort and overall well-being.
What are common signs of sleep apnea?
Common signs include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, restless nights, morning headaches, daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, and irritability. Your bed partner may notice breathing pauses or irregular breathing patterns. If these symptoms occur consistently, a screening and evaluation can determine whether you have sleep apnea and guide treatment planning.
How does an oral appliance help with sleep apnea?
Oral appliances reposition your lower jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction during sleep. By maintaining a more open airway, these devices can reduce snoring and breathing pauses, improving your sleep quality. They are custom-fitted for comfort, worn at night, and offer a non-invasive alternative to other therapies for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
