5 Ways Biomimetic Oral Appliances Can Improve Sleep and Breathing

Sleep is essential for overall health, yet millions struggle with sleep disorders like snoring and sleep apnea. Many don’t realize that airway health is critical to sleep quality. Buscemi Family Dentistry uses biomimetic oral appliances as a revolutionary, non-invasive solution to improve breathing and restorative sleep. If you are struggling with sleep or breathing, visit our office in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and explore the power of our biomimetic appliances. 

How biomimetic oral appliances help with sleep and breathing

We take them for granted, but healthy sleep and breathing are vital for optimal wellness. Quality sleep and proper breathing restore the body and mind, giving you renewed energy to tackle daily tasks and stay focused throughout the day. Additionally, adequate sleep improves memory, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. 

Unfortunately, sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can hamper sleep and breathing quality, affecting your health and quality of life. Luckily, biomimetic oral appliances can restore optimal sleep, health, and life. Here’s how: 

1. Reduces OSA symptoms: OSA is a common sleep disorder characterized by stop-and-start breathing cycles during sleep. OSA commonly occurs when the soft tissues at the throat collapse, blocking the airway partially or entirely. OSA can ruin your health and quality of life, but biomimetic oral appliances can help. They reposition your tongue and jaws to keep your airway open during sleep. This minimizes apneic episodes, reducing daytime fatigue, headaches, and other OSA-related symptoms. 
2. Remodel your airway: Biomimetic devices can help improve the structure of your airway over time. The gentle repositioning of the jaw and tongue encourages proper alignment of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. This keeps the airway open while you sleep and promotes long-term anatomical changes that reduce airway restriction. Over time, consistent use can lead to a wider, more stable airway.
3. Better oxygen intake: Oxygen is critical in our bodies. Oxygen is absorbed from the air into the lungs, then transported by red blood cells to the body’s tissues. Without oxygen, body cells can’t thrive, resulting in damage and failure of vital organs. Patients with sleep and breathing disorders may experience reduced oxygenation. This affects their mood and predisposes them to several systemic illnesses. Biomimetic oral appliances are a natural solution for improving oxygen intake, especially for OSA patients. Enhanced oxygenation supports organ function, energy levels, and even cognitive performance.
4. Combat snoring: Both you and your bed partner may lose quality sleep due to snoring. Biomimetic oral appliances in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, reduce airway obstruction for uninterrupted airflow. This reduces snoring, ensuring quiet, restful sleep. Unlike temporary fixes, biomimetic appliances recalibrate the natural structure of the jaw and airway for long-lasting results. 
5. Customized fit for optimum comfort. Each biomimetic oral appliance is custom-made to the exact specifications of your dentition. A custom fit maximizes comfort and long-term benefits.
