Having trouble with snoring and disturbed sleep? You might be experiencing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a serious, but common condition that can affect breathing while you sleep. Smile and Glow Dental Clinic in Mogappair, Jawahar Nagar, Chennai can offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for patients who are suffering from sleep-related breathing disorders. What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea? OSA is a condition where the airway becomes obstructed while you are sleeping, reducing or fully interrupting airflow. Airway obstruction is typically caused by relaxed muscles at the back of the throat, a large tongue, or a lower jaw positioned backward. Airway obstruction can cause loud snoring, decreased oxygen delivery to the brain, and frequent interruptions of sleep. A significant symptom of OSA is chronic snoring. If left untreated, chronic snoring can lead to complications for the heart and brain, overall health and well-being. Common Causes of OSA: • Weight or obesity • Large neck circumference • Enlarged tonsils or long soft palate • Small or recessed lower jaw • Nasal blockage (deviated septum, allergies, etc.) • Poor tongue posture during sleep • Sleep bruxism and clenching Signs to Look for: • Loud snoring that happens every night • Headaches upon waking • Always tired or sleepy during the day • Dry mouth or sore throat from sleeping • Limited focus and poor memory • Grinding or clenching teeth (bruxism) • Neck and shoulder discomfort • Swelling in the legs (in more advanced cases of OSA) At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic - Mogappair and Jawahar Nagar - we see many patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) struggling with TMJ pain, snoring or tiredness even after sleeping for an entire night. A true sign of sleep-disordered breathing! Diagnosis at Smile and Glow in Mogappair and Jawahar Nagar: Our protocol for diagnosis is here is comprehensive that includes: • Case history + STOP-BANG • Intraoral and extraoral clinical examination • CBCT 3D volumetric scan for airway analysis • Sleep study - Home Sleep Test / Polysomnography • Radiology - OPG, TMJ views, Lateral Cephalogram, MRI • T-Scan for bite force distribution • Jaw tracking & MAT scan • TENS (Ultra-low frequency neural stimulation) for jaw muscle relaxation Why treating OSA is important: Leaving sleep apnoea untreated puts you at risk for some serious health problems which include: • High blood pressure • Heart disease • Diabetes • Stroke • Chronic fatigue • Increased likelihood of accidents due to sleepy. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Treatment Options in Chennai: Depending on the severity of your condition, our clinical team provides: Conservative Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) In the case of obstructive sleep apnea, simple lifestyle changes and non-invasive measures can significantly minimize obstructive sleep apnea severity. At Smile and Glow Dental Center - Jawahar Nagar, Mogappair, we recommend a number of conservative strategies: • Healthy weight – Losing excess body weight will reduce the fat deposits around the upper airway and allow for better airflow. • Avoidance of alcohol – Alcohol relaxes the muscles in the throat, which will worsen breathing interruptions while you sleep. • Limiting sedatives – Sedatives can minimize the body’s normal reflexes which can keep the airway open; therefore, increasing the chance of apnea episodes. • Change sleep position – Sleeping on your side with the support of a wedge pillow will keep the airway from collapsing, whereas sleeping on your back will worsen symptoms by allowing the airspace to collapse. • Nasal congestion treatment – Treatment for sinus or nasal blockage through nasal sprays before bedtime can improve breathing while sleeping at night. Oral Appliance Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea - Jawahar Nagar & Mogappair At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Jawahar Nagar and Mogappair, our clinic aims to be the cornerstone of Sleep Apnea Treatments. Oral appliances are effective for treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and for patients with severe OSA who cannot tolerate nasal CPAP.

At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic in Mogappair and Perambur, we introduce DSD in Chennai to restore your natural looking, confident smile with increased caret and accuracy. What Is Digital Smile Design? DSD is a digital treatment planning tool that enables the doctor to analyze the coordination of the teeth, gums, lips, and facial structure that can be visualized before a complete smile design has occurred. DSD not only improves accuracy but allows you to be part of designing your own smile. Whether we are trying to correct a tooth or combination of teeth alignment, to correct chipped teeth, or for a full smile makeover, DSD will help us create a result that not only looks perfectly suited to your face, but also looks natural and symmetrical. _________________________________________ What is the DSD Process? The DSD process begins by capturing high-resolution images and high-definition videos of your face and smile from angles in every direction. Those images are analysed using targeted software which will smile-design your perfect smile according to your facial features. You will see and approve a digital mock-up of what your new smile will look like. Then we will produce a 3D printed mock-up for you to try on, giving you a non-permanent preview of your new smile.

Only after your approval are the final restorations; whether they be veneers, implants, crowns or whitening allowed to be designed and fabricated. _________________________________________ Why Use Digital Smile Design Over Traditional Smile Design?

With DSD there can be no ambiguity. You can visualise the desired final product in advance and make changes if any are required before proceeding.

Straighten Your Smile Using Traditional Orthodontic Treatment Metal braces are a very effective, affordable option for aligning, crowding, or spacing your teeth, and they are available at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair. Metal braces continue to be one of the most common orthodontic treatments for teenagers and adults who want predictable results and very precise movements of their teeth. How Do Metal Braces Work? In metal braces, premium stainless steel brackets made with a dental-grade adhesive are bonded to the center of each tooth; these brackets usually contain 304-grade stainless steel. Important components of metal braces include: - Archwire : Temperature sensitive wires that follow the shape of the mouth and adjust to body heat, which in turn guides the teeth into place. - **Metal ties -** Or elastic ties to hold the archwire in place within the brackets. - **Appointments with the orthodontist -** To “adjust” their braces to establish progression and to ensure teeth are moving as planned. When these components work together, they will slowly create a healthier, straighter position of the teeth. Are braces visible? While traditional metal braces are noticeable, bear in mind they are smaller than braces traditionally are, more comfortable than they have ever been, and more effective than ever. You can also choose tooth-colored ceramic brackets, which are harder to distinguish from your natural teeth if you'd prefer a more subtle appearance. Why opt for metal braces? ✅ Time-tested results for mild, moderate, or complex misalignments, longitudinals, and things you may not be aware of yet! ✅ Cost effective compared to clear aligners. ✅ Durable and robust enough to suit the needs of active lifestyles. ✅ Suitable for children, teens, and adults. ✅ Can be easily combined with alternative orthodontic appliances, as clinically required.

Retreatment of Root Canal Failure in Mogappair – Save Your Tooth at Smile and Glow Root canal treatment is designed to be permanent. However, this is not always the case. A tooth that has been previously treated may still hurt due to developing an infection that may not have been seen earlier or technical limitations with the initial root canal. The good news is that at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair, we specialize in the retreatment of failed root canals using the latest microscopic techniques to preserve and restore your natural tooth. What causes root canal treatment to fail? Even if the original treatment was done correctly, there are numerous factors that may lead to reinfection or a delayed healing response. • Missed canal- There may have been a hidden or extra canal present during the initial treatment. • Improper cleaning- The canal may not have been cleaned or sealed completely. • Too long of a delay between treatment and the placement of the crown- The oral environment established seal failures around the crown of the tooth, therefore allowed bacteria back into it. • Complex root anatomy- The shape of the canal may have been too curved or narrow and therefore may not have received proper cleaning. These problems can lead to symptoms that include: • Persistent pain or sensitivity in the tooth that was treated • Tenderness when chewing or tapping the tooth • Swelling in the area of the gums, face, or neck • A pimple-like bump or sinus tract on the gums (indicating a pus pathway) • A bad taste or foul breath from infection ________________________________________ Can Retreatment Really Happen? Yes—a failed root canal absolutely can be retreated. Using advanced equipment such as a dental operating microscopes and the knowledge and skills of our expert endodontists, it is possible for us to fully clean the tooth, properly seal it, and keep it for the long haul. ________________________________________ Retreatment at Smile and Glow 1. Re-accessing the Tooth The treated tooth is re-accessed by removing the crown or filling. 2. Removal of Old Root Canal Materials The old filling materials are removed to access the canal system. 3. Evaluation Under Microscope We will look for missed canals, unusual anatomy, or areas of reinfection using a dental microscope. 4. Deep Cleaning and Shaping In this step, the canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected—the full length of each root. 5.
