Sleep Apnea
Everyone wants a restful, refreshing night of sleep, but more than 80 million Americans fail to consistently get it. For those who snore, or live with partners who do, peaceful sleep can often be a challenge.
If you or someone you love snores, you should be aware of the risk factors for sleep apnea. Left untreated, it may cause:
- High blood pressure
- Memory problems
- Weight gain
- Muscle pain
- Cardiovascular disease
Fortunately, sleep apnea is easily diagnosed and very treatable. Most doctors recommend a CPAP machine, but many people have difficulty acclimating to the nighttime noise and the mask they must wear. If you travel frequently, lugging the machine around can also become quite a hassle. Dr. Ziegele recommends a custom-made mouth guard for more convenience and greater effectiveness. Worn during sleep, it keeps your airway open, preventing oxygen deprivation.
Dr. Ziegele's custom mouth guards are a proven, safe, affordable way to eliminate snoring and avoid the weariness of chronic fatigue. Consider visiting our Tacoma dental practice to discuss your individual solution.

Do you snore every night and then trudge through the day, exhausted? Poor sleep is not just an annoyance; it is a major health issue. Sleep apnea occurs when your airway partially closes for longer than 10 seconds, resulting in fitful sleep and mild to extreme daytime fatigue.
In short order, Dr. Ziegele can fit you with a comfortable, custom mouth guard that holds your jaw forward during sleep, maximizing the flow of air through your nose and mouth. She and her team take impressions, record your bite positions and produce a repositioning appliance small enough to fit in your pocket, helping you feel relief and sleep better in days.
Shut off the CPAP machine. Stop the snoring, feel healthier and better rested tonight. Auburn dentist April L. Ziegele can get you checked, treated and re-energized!
