3 Ways Sleep Apnea May Be Hurting Your Health
If you’re tired when you wake up, feeling drowsy throughout the day, and having trouble with your memory, are you just trying to deal with it the best you can? You may try to combat your tiredness with extra-large cups of coffee or energy drinks – yet don’t experience much improvement to your alertness or energy levels. You may have accepted this as normal for you. But these symptoms may be caused by the common condition of obstructive sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea, also known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), results from an OSA sufferer’s own anatomy. Sleep apnea can cause disrupted sleep night after night. According to this article published by the New York Times, at least 22 million Americans struggle with sleep apnea. Leaving this condition untreated can have seriously negative effects on your health and well-being. Let’s take a look at three ways your untreated sleep apnea may be hurting you.
- Tiredness from sleep apnea is persistent and can be severe enough to cause problems with day-to-day activities. If you have undiagnosed sleep apnea, you’re feeling tired for a good reason – your sleep is constantly being disrupted. Obstructive sleep apnea causes a person to briefly stop breathing and wake to gasp for air many times each night. Many sleep apnea patients don’t remember waking up in the night, but tiredness poor memory, and difficulty concentrating are telltale signs of this condition.
Dr. Atul Malhotra, the director of Sleep Medicine at the University of California San Diego, says that with sleep apnea “you get sleepiness, lack of energy and an inability to concentrate.” These detrimental effects of sleep apnea can have consequences at work, school, and in every aspect of your life. Treating sleep apnea in Miami can help you reclaim your energy levels and get restful sleep.
- Systemic effects and metabolic disorders as a result of sleep apnea can include:
- The development of type 2 diabetes
- An increased risk of cardiovascular disease
- A greater risk of developing high blood pressure
Sleep apnea causes your oxygen levels to decrease during the night. Instead of resting and restoring itself during sleep, your body becomes stressed because of OSA and your vital organs receive less oxygen than they need. These decreased oxygen levels can affect your brain, your heart, and every other major organ in your body. Keeping your airway open throughout the night lets your oxygen levels remain stable and helps prevent the unwanted effects of sleep apnea.
- Mood problems due to poor sleep quality may be another unpleasant consequence of OSA. A poor night’s sleep can make most people a little cranky, but obstructive sleep apnea patients are living with the mood effects of poor sleep, every day. Sleep apnea causes a lack of rest, which can cause or worsen depression, irritability, and relationship problems. Studies done by scientists at the Centers for Disease Control have discovered that having OSA means you also have a greater risk of depression. Fortunately, treatment for obstructive sleep apnea in South Florida is available at the offices of Yazji Orthodontics.
At Yazji Orthodontics, we help our patients with sleep apnea get the rest they need using personalized OAT treatment. Oral Appliance Therapy for obstructive sleep apnea from the offices of Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics is an alternative to CPAP machine treatment and low-quality over-the-counter appliances for sleep apnea. Contact our Weston, Brickell, or Miami office today to schedule an OAT treatment consultation with Dr. Yazji. Don’t let obstructive sleep apnea harm your health – get OAT treatment from Yazji Orthodontics.
Why You Should Treat Your Sleep Apnea Now
A lot of things can wake you up in the night – a neighbor’s barking dog, a car alarm down the street, a bad dream – everyone has their sleep interrupted from time to time. But what if something woke you up multiple times each hour, every hour, every night? You wouldn’t be getting much rest. You’d probably be pretty tired in the morning, and you’d likely not be so cheerful either. This scenario is a very real problem for the millions of Americans living with sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea, or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), causes a person to stop breathing in the night. This brief cessation of airflow causes the OSA sufferer to wake up gasping for the air that their body needs. Oftentimes, just as they have fallen back to sleep, it happens again – they stop breathing briefly, wake up gasping, and fall back into fragmented sleep. This cycle repeats itself throughout the night making obstructive sleep apnea more than just a minor annoyance. This common condition can have a major impact on health and well-being.
Untreated sleep apnea affects your whole body. You have what is known as a blood oxygen level, and it’s determined by how well you’re getting air in. If you have OSA, your breathing may be normal during the day. But when you lie down to sleep, the soft tissue and other loose anatomy in your throat blocks your airway, causing your breathing to become labored and irregular, and causing you to stop breathing many times. This can cause your blood oxygen level to drop below the optimal range, which means your brain, heart, and entire body aren’t getting enough oxygen. Sleep apnea can increase your heart rate and blood pressure and put unnecessary stress on your body. The National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research has found that sleep apnea contributes to approximately 38,000 cardiovascular deaths each year. Treating sleep apnea in South Florida is vital to a healthy life.
Untreated OSA can wreak havoc on your mood. How you feel is important to your overall health, too. The increased risk of depression and other mood disorders that comes with sleep apnea can be a problem for many sufferers. Irritability, foggy thinking, or drowsiness during the day caused by sleep apnea can be an obstacle to work and learning and can make completing daily tasks much harder. Dr. Atul Malhotra, the director of sleep medicine at the University of California San Diego, said in a NY Times article that effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea enables people to have more energy and less sleepiness. They can think better, experience improved mental clarity, and improve their mood, which are all great reasons to get treatment for your sleep apnea at Yazji Orthodontics.
Sleep apnea can hurt your marriage or other relationship. They vowed to love you for better or for worse, but didn’t account for your snoring! One partner who snores loudly is a complaint among many couples, but it can also be a common sign of obstructive sleep apnea.
Left untreated, OSA not only wakes you up – it can wake your spouse up multiple times each night, too. Loud snoring and waking in the night can create resentment and disharmony as well as decreased intimacy in a relationship. In other words, OSA can impact the health and mood of both people involved.
If your significant other has been complaining about your snoring, you may have undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. The American Sleep Apnea Association’s Snore Score Quiz can help you determine whether you should be medically assessed for sleep apnea. If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, don’t wait to treat it.
Your OSA should be treated in a way that works for you. Many sleep apnea patients don’t stick with CPAP machine treatment — and without consistent treatment, their sleep apnea returns. OAT treatment from Yazji Orthodontics is a convenient and custom-fit solution to obstructive sleep apnea in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Our friendly team can help you set up an OAT consultation with Dr. Maria Yazji, DDS at our Miami, Brickell, or Weston office. Treat your sleep apnea with an OAT device from Yazji Orthodontics.
Do you want your best smile but can’t fit in too many orthodontic visits?
Time is precious, I think we can all agree on that. There are never enough hours in the day to complete all those tasks we keep adding to our to-do lists. Still, we must prioritize and make decisions about what we will spend our time doing and which tasks we can put off for another day. An average day generally involves exercising, commuting, working, lunch, networking, dinner, time with friends and family, errands . . . the list goes on and on. So, where does that leave you and the things you do for YOU? Like getting your teeth and smile in tip-top shape? Learn more about Orthodontic Miami.

Loud Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment in Miami
Loud snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment in Miami – They’d only been married for two weeks and he was already sleeping on the couch. No, it wasn’t something he said. There wasn’t an argument. He didn’t still have a dating app on his phone. It was his snoring! The newlyweds thought they knew what to expect from marriage, but sharing a bed with someone who snores loudly can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. It wasn’t the start to married life the couple in downtown Miami had expected. But there was a solution — after a trip to the doctor and a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, he found out how to get help for snoring in Downtown Miami with OAT Treatment.
Obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, is a common problem for many people in the US. When you have OSA, lying down can cause your airway to become partially blocked by the soft tissue in your throat. When you have OSA, you may wake many times throughout the night. And though you may not be aware of these disturbances in your sleep, disrupted sleep can have a serious effect on your health. OSA can contribute to weight gain, high blood pressure, mood disorders, and other conditions. And then there’s the snoring. Loud snoring is often a sign of obstructive sleep apnea and can disrupt the sleep of your spouse and leave you sleeping on the couch. Treating OSA in Downtown Miami can help you get a better (and quieter) night’s sleep.
A CPAP machine is often used to treat sleep apnea. This machine and mask keep the airway open while the patient sleeps. But many patients give up on this method of OSA treatment in Miami because they find the machine is noisy, bulky, and embarrassing. But there’s a better option – OAT treatment. OAT (oral appliance therapy) treatment from Yazji Orthodontics is a customized approach to sleep apnea management. Like a CPAP machine, an OAT device helps keep your airway open. But unlike a CPAP machine, an oral appliance therapy device from Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics is quiet, unobtrusive, and easy to use every night.
If you’re considering an oral appliance to manage the symptoms of your sleep apnea, get one that’s made for you. Like an over-the-counter ZYPPAH device for sleep apnea, an OAT device fits right into your mouth. Nut, unlike a ZYPPAH device, an OAT device is made to fit your unique mouth, for more comfortable and effective OSA treatment in Downtown Miami. Don’t settle for an OTC device, get a custom OAT device for sleep apnea from Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics in Miami.
Loud snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment in Miami. Your sleep, and the sleep of your spouse, is important. Don’t keep them up with your snoring, and don’t sleep on the couch anymore – treat your obstructive sleep apnea with OAT therapy from Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics. Schedule an OAT device consultation today. Get the restful sleep you need with the help of a convenient, comfortable oral appliance therapy device when you get OAT treatment in Downtown Miami from the offices of Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Your Risks and Treatment Options
Do you wake up feeling tired? Have you been told that you snore? These signs and symptoms may point to obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea, also known as OSA, is a common condition that impacts the sleep — and health — of many adults. But with the right OSA treatment in South Florida, obstructive sleep apnea won’t be a problem for you.
What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea means that your airway becomes partially blocked when you sleep, causing you to briefly stop breathing. This can happen many times each night and compromise the quality of your sleep.
What causes Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
The soft tissue in your throat that isn’t a problem while you are upright reposition when you lie down, causing your airway to become blocked. OSA can be the temporary side effect of a cold and can become a problem during pregnancy. OSA can develop due to allergies or weight gain. Smoking, drinking alcohol, and taking some prescription medicines may worsen obstructive sleep apnea. In some cases, genetics are thought to play a role in OSA.
What are the risks associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
If obstructive sleep apnea is a persistent problem for you, your health is at risk. OSA disrupts sleep, which can have negative effects on health and well-being, including:
- Weight gain
- Increased blood pressure
- Greater risk of developing diabetes
- Greater risk of depression and mood disorders
- Daytime drowsiness
And other health risks.
Your body needs deep restorative sleep to rest and heal. Your organs need oxygen. OSA can cause poor sleep and decreases oxygen levels, leaving you tired and less healthy every morning.
How is Obstructive Sleep Apnea treated?
Treatment of OSA involves keeping the airway open continuously during sleep. A CPAP machine, over-the-counter oral devices, and oral appliance therapy are popular obstructive sleep apnea treatment methods.
A CPAP machine requires the OSA patient to wear a mask throughout the night. Many patients stop using their CPAP machine, saying it’s too loud or too inconvenient. Without treatment, their sleep apnea continues.
An over-the-counter appliance for OSA fits into the mouth and keeps the airway unobstructed during sleep. There’s no mask, no machine, no noise. But OSA patients have found that these boil-and-bite devices lose their shape after being boiled a few times, and can be uncomfortable. When a patient stops wearing their OTC sleep apnea device, their poor sleep quality returns.
OAT treatment from Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics is a good way to correct obstructive sleep apnea. An OAT device is custom-made for the OSA patient at one of our three South Florida offices. This device is worn every night, keeping the airway clear and letting the OSA patient get the restful sleep they need. An OAT device is made to comfortably fit each patient, retain its shape, and conveniently treat obstructive sleep apnea. Contact our Weston, Brickell, or Miami office for an OAT Treatment consultation with Dr. Yazji. Don’t let the risks of OSA harm your health — get treatment for your obstructive sleep apnea at the offices of Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics.
