Sleep Apnea Treatment in Kolkata

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts while you sleep at night. This condition happens when the upper airway collapses or gets blocked, making it hard to breathe. This can cause loud snoring, choking sounds during sleep, and frequent awakenings— often without you even realizing it.

Over time, sleep apnea can lead to chronic tiredness, irritability, and serious health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease. Many people don’t know that sleep apnea can also affect your facial profile, jaw movement, and even your smile. At Smile and Profile, we treat not just the sleep disorder but also its effects on your facial structure and function with advanced sleep disorder treatment in Kolkata—helping you sleep better and look better.

    What Triggers Sleep Apnea?

    Several factors can lead to sleep apnea, including:
    • Obesity or excess weight
    • Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
    • Nasal congestion
    • Receded jaw or misaligned bite
    • Smoking and alcohol consumption
    • Family history
    If your jaw structure is part of the problem, Smile and Profile can address it effectively with multidisciplinary sleep disorder treatment in Kolkata.
    What Triggers Sleep Apnea
    Connection of Sleep Apnea & TMJTMD

    Connection of Sleep Apnea & TMJ/TMD

    There is a strong connection between sleep apnea and TMJ dysfunction. People with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) may be more likely to have sleep apnea and vice versa. This is because the muscles that control the jaw are also involved in keeping the airway open during sleep. When these muscles are tight or inflamed, they can narrow the airway and contribute to sleep apnea. Poor jaw alignment, muscle stress, and breathing issues feed into one another, creating a loop that worsens both TMJ and sleep apnea symptoms.

    How Sleep Apnea Can Worsen TMJ?

    • Jaw joint pain
    • Headaches and neck tension
    • Clicking or popping of the jaw
    • Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth
    Our approach at Smile and Profile addresses both the structural and breathing concerns – because better sleep begins with a proportional jaw.

    Managing Sleep Apnea

    Depending on the severity and underlying cause, treatment may include:

    CPAP Therapy

    The CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine helps maintain an open airway during sleep.

    Oral Appliances

    Custom-fitted oral devices support jaw and tongue position and keep the airway open.

    Lifestyle Changes

    Weight loss, smoking cessation, reduced alcohol intake.

    Surgery (in some cases)

    Surgery is recommended for anatomical blockages that don’t respond to conservative treatments.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is sleep apnea diagnosed?

    Through a sleep study (polysomnography), done either at home or in a sleep clinic, to monitor breathing patterns during sleep.

    Is sleep apnea dangerous if left untreated?

    Yes. It can lead to serious health issues like high blood pressure, heart problems, stroke, and daytime fatigue-related accidents.

    Can a dentist treat sleep apnea?

    Absolutely. Dentists at Smile and Profile are trained in sleep medicine and can provide oral devices that keep the airway open during sleep.

    Is snoring always a sign of sleep apnea?

    Not always, but loud, chronic snoring is a common symptom.

    Does treating TMJ help with sleep apnea?

    Yes, in some cases. Improving jaw alignment and muscle function can reduce airway obstruction and improve breathing during sleep.
