Treating Sleep Apnea & Snoring

When the tongue falls back during sleep, this can block the airway disrupting sleep and decreasing the flow of oxygen to the lungs and brain. A partial blockage can cause snoring. A more severe blockage of air can lead to sleep apnea which causes the sleeper to stop breathing for short periods of time. Eventually, this can lead to major health consequences, and leaving you tired, cranky and unable to function properly during your day.

Dental appliances can be fitted to help prevent sleep disorders. Oral appliance therapy involves an intra-oral device that assists breathing by opening the airway. Maintaining a normal breathing pattern reduces the long term effects of sleep disorders. Several types of intra-oral dental appliances are available to help alleviate sleep disorders.

No matter which treatment is best for you, diagnosing your sleep issues is the first step to a healthier lifestyle.

Common Questions & Answers

Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed because it occurs while you’re asleep. However, there are key warning signs: loud snoring, episodes of gasping or choking during the night, and persistent, excessive daytime fatigue despite sleeping for a full duration. If you or a loved one has noticed these symptoms, schedule a consultation.

Sleep apnea is caused by blocked airways (Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA) when throat muscles relax too much, often due to obesity, large tonsils, or anatomy, or by the brain failing to signal breathing muscles (Central Sleep Apnea, or CSA) due to underlying medical issues or brainstem problems, leading to repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. 

The risk factors associated with sleep apnea include, excess weight, enlarged neck circumference, narrow airways, nasal congestion, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and possible stroke.

Not at all. The dental appliances we provide offer an easy, comfortable, and effective treatment option of individuals with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. They work by repositioning your jaw or tongue to keep the airway open during sleep.
