Sleep Apnea Treatment at Les Belles NYC

If you wake up feeling tired no matter how long you’ve slept, or if your partner notices you snore or stop breathing during the night, you may be experiencing sleep apnea. This condition disrupts breathing while you sleep and can affect everything from your energy levels to your heart health. At Les Belles NYC, located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, we help patients explore safe and effective solutions for sleep apnea, including custom dental appliances.

Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea happens when the airway becomes blocked or collapses during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. These pauses can last seconds or even longer, often followed by loud snoring or gasping for air. Over time, untreated sleep apnea may raise the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue. Common signs include:

• Loud snoring
• Pauses in breathing while sleeping
• Waking up with headaches or dry mouth
• Feeling unrested or irritable during the day

First Steps at Les Belles NYC

Getting a proper diagnosis is the first step. At Les Belles NYC, we listen carefully to your symptoms and may recommend further evaluation to confirm whether sleep apnea is the cause of your fatigue or disrupted rest.

The gold standard of treatment is a CPAP machine, which keeps the airway open with continuous airflow. For patients who are unable to tolerate CPAP or who are candidates for an alternative, our office offers dental solutions designed to improve sleep and breathing.

Dental Solutions for Sleep Apnea

Les Belles NYC creates custom mouthguards designed to reposition your jaw slightly forward during sleep. This adjustment prevents the soft palate or tongue from collapsing into the airway. Many patients notice improvements in both snoring and overall sleep quality. These appliances are comfortable, portable, and easy to wear nightly.

Addressing Teeth Grinding

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, often occurs alongside sleep apnea. Our custom devices can help reduce grinding while also keeping the airway open, offering relief on two fronts. This dual benefit makes them especially helpful for patients with overlapping conditions.
