Whether removing full upper dentures with bedtime cause language close to the neck, causing Sleep Apnea? Had been diagnosed with one year after the complete upper dentures. Even with a c-pap with a humidifier, I wake up often with my tongue stuck to the roof and back from my mouth, my mouth is very dry, and must have frequent sips of water through a straw in a teacup on stands at night during the night.
Susan, there are people with full upper dentures, but no respiratory problems. Your airway is blocked because your language is set up to your mouth when you sleep. Your language can be very large, or you can have a high arched palate and a narrow jaw.
You have opened and said ahhhhhhhhh while looking in a mirror? Stick your language too, makes it much easier to see tooth marks-often subtle unless you know what you're looking for!
And look in the mirror with your mouth open test to see how large and/or long your uvula.
Other recommendations, it may be that you have a recessed lower jaw or narrow jaw?
Go search ...What you see?
All this goes to anatomy is a factor OSA and selecting the correct treatment for OSA. CPAP is still the least invasive treatment for OSA with a dental splint if works for very mild sleep apnea. It is amazing how many processes are created for OSA proved again this is not a simple condition that may be discussed in one of the causes.
I don't know if you can use a device, dental during the night. But, if you can recommend:
According to the sleep dentists, IATRIKiS coverage begins to get better coverage of dental devices as a first plan of attack on Sleep Apnea. Its certainly cheaper than long-term CPAP for insurance companies and compliance is better, so that the time will start figuring they need to encourage people who try this first.
You will need to pass a dentist certified sleep to get the expertise, equipment and insurance companies.
Also, shop. Prices vary wildly even among certified dentists.
Part of the problem you face if you try cheaper routes to your Find "effectivity". Buy a new Cheap REGISTRATION pulse oximeter really help to call on your approach to use (even CPAP!), in conjunction with caution when you refund of dreams and how you feel every day.
Hope this helps!
