What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that causes repeated moments of suffocation during sleep. This chronic suffocation degrades sleep quality, impacts daily functioning, and raises a patient’s risk of serious health problems, like heart disease. Often, the cause of sleep apnea and snoring can be linked to a restricted airway. By using noninvasive oral sleep appliances, we can reposition the jaw and tongue so that a clear airway is restored and undesirable symptoms are eliminated.
