This is done in your home to ensure that you are in a relaxing environment and sleep patterns are the same as every night. Diagnosis Your home sleep study will be interpreted by a licensed medical doctor and they will provide us with a medical diagnosis. Your doctor reviews the sleep study results to determine a diagnosis. Some possible diagnoses include snoring issues or light, moderate, or severe obstructive sleep apnea. Treatment Each patient is different. Your diagnosis and may include changes in lifestyle, oral appliance therapy, or surgery. We will help you to determine your solution in conjunction with your own doctors.

Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a partial or complete collapse of the upper airway structures. OSA is caused by the relaxation of muscles of the tongue and soft palate.
OSA causes people to experience:
Apnea: A cessation of airflow for greater than 10 seconds.
Hypopnea: A decrease in airflow lasting greater than 10 seconds, and a 4% decrease in oxygen saturation from baseline.
Air Flow Limitations: A narrowing of the upper airway.
Prevalence of Sleep Apnea 1 in 5 adults has mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) 1 in 15 adults has moderate to severe OSA 75% of people with severe sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) remain undiagnosed.

Snoring

Snoring is defined as “unwanted sound (noise) associated with vibration of upper airway tissue during sleep.” Snoring is caused by diffuse vibrations or fluttering of pharyngeal tissues during sleep.
The three necessary conditions for snoring are vibrating tissue, airflow limitation and sleep. The health consequences of snoring range from none to severe sleep disturbances with morbid consequences, in patients with obstructive sleep apnea Reported in up to 50% of people, snoring is a common symptom of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).Not all people who snore have OSA, but virtually everyone with OSA snores.
Therefore, it is recommended to evaluate everyone that snores to determine if they have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Snoring Solutions For those that suffer from severe snoring there are a lot of options for treatment. One of the most popular treatment options for snorers is oral appliance therapy.

OAT treatment can be considered a type of snoring mouth guard that helps the patient to dramatically reduce snoring, or may even eliminate snoring all together. Before you can be fitted for an oral appliance therapy mouthpiece you need to be evaluated by us at Dr. Walter Heidary General Dentist. Other solutions for snoring can be found on various different types of surgeries such as: Adenoids and Tonsil surgery, Palatal Implants, Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and Laser Assisted Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (LA UPPP). You will most likely need to participate in a sleep study to help determine the severity of your snoring issues.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the name of the joint located on either side of your head, just in front of your ears. These joints connect your mandible (jawbone) to your temporal bone (skull). The TMJ, which can rotate and move forward, backward and side to side, is considered one of the most complex joints in the body. This joint, in combination with other muscles and ligaments, lets you chew, swallow, speak and yawn. When you have a problem with the muscle, bone or other tissue in the area in and around the TMJ, you may have a TMD.
Symptoms of TMDs
Signs or symptoms of TMDs include pain and tenderness in or around the ear, the jaw joint, or the muscles of the jaw, face or temples. Other symptoms are problems opening or closing your mouth, and a clicking, popping, crunching or grinding noise when you chew, yawn or open your mouth. TMDs may be linked with neck pain and headaches. If you have any of these symptoms, tell your dentist and your doctor.
Cause and Effect
In most cases, TMDs are caused by a combination of factors like jaw injuries and joint disease, such as arthritis. It is believed that bruxism (tooth clenching or grinding) and head or neck muscle tension may make TMD symptoms worse. Stress is also a possible factor. However, it is not clear if stress causes TMDs or is a result of them. Other things that may lead to TMDs are partial or full dentures that are not the right fit and certain habits such as fingernail biting and pen or pencil biting.
Treating TMDs
Most patients with TMDs get better by themselves without any treatment. To help ease sore jaw muscles, place a cold or warm compress to your jaw and gently massage your jaw muscles. Eat a soft diet, cut food into small pieces and avoid hard, chewy or sticky foods. Try not to open your mouth too wide, even when you yawn. And most importantly, relax your jaw muscles.
When you are relaxed, your teeth should be slightly apart and your tongue should rest on the floor of your mouth with your lips barely touching or slightly apart. There should be a slight space between your upper and lower teeth except during chewing, speaking or swallowing.
How Your Dentist Can Help
After a thorough examination and, if needed, appropriate x-rays, your dentist may suggest a plan to treat your TMD. This treatment plan may include relaxation techniques, a referral to a physiotherapist, a chiropractor or a behavioural therapist to help you ease muscle pain. Other treatment options may include medicine for pain, inflammation or tense muscles. If getting a good night s sleep is a problem, a number of approaches to improve sleep may be used.
Your dentist may suggest wearing a night guard, also called an occlusal splint. It is made of clear plastic and fits over the biting surfaces of the teeth of one jaw so that you bite against the splint rather than your teeth. This often helps your jaw joints and muscles to relax.
