Sleep Apnea Therapy

Sleep apnea doesn’t just disrupt your sleep—it can impact your overall health and well-being. We offer custom oral appliances to help open your airway, improve breathing, and provide restful, uninterrupted sleep.

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that causes repeated interruptions in breathing while you sleep. These pauses in airflow can lead to poor sleep quality, excessive daytime fatigue, and long-term health risks such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. Many patients with sleep apnea experience loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and chronic morning headaches.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form, occurring when the soft tissues in the back of the throat collapse and block the airway. While anyone can develop sleep apnea, certain factors—such as excess weight, chronic nasal congestion, family history, and smoking—can increase your risk.

How do we treat sleep apnea?

For mild to moderate sleep apnea, an oral appliance can be an effective, non-invasive treatment. A Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is a custom-fitted appliance that holds the lower jaw slightly forward while you sleep. This repositioning prevents airway blockage by keeping the tongue from falling back and allowing for better airflow.

Compared to CPAP machines, oral appliances offer a more comfortable and convenient alternative. They are silent, portable, and easy to maintain—making them an excellent option for patients who struggle with traditional CPAP therapy.

Signs you may have sleep apnea

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may have sleep apnea and could benefit from treatment:

  • Loud, persistent snoring

  • Waking up gasping or choking for air

  • Feeling excessively tired during the day

  • Frequent headaches in the morning

  • Difficulty concentrating or memory problems

  • High blood pressure or other cardiovascular issues

The dangers of untreated sleep apnea

Ignoring sleep apnea can have serious consequences beyond just poor sleep. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can lead to:

  • Increased risk of heart disease and stroke

  • High blood pressure

  • Weight gain and metabolic disorders

  • Chronic fatigue, which can lead to accidents or injuries

  • Decreased cognitive function and mood disturbances

If you suspect you may have sleep apnea, don’t wait. A restful night’s sleep is essential to your overall health. If you or a loved one suffers from sleep apnea, schedule a consultation with our team to explore your treatment options.
