    About Sleep Apnea

    Sleep apnea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep, leading to poor rest and potential health risks like heart problems and fatigue. Treatment can improve sleep quality and overall health, helping you feel more energized and alert during the day.

    How Is Sleep Apnea Treated?

     

    Lifestyle Changes

    For mild cases, weight loss or changing sleep positions may help reduce symptoms.

    Oral Appliances

    A custom dental device can help keep your airway open by repositioning the jaw or tongue during sleep. These are effective for mild to moderate sleep apnea and can reduce snoring.

    CPAP Machines

    For severe cases, a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine blows air through a mask to keep the airway open.

    Surgery

    In cases where physical blockages cause apnea, surgical procedures can remove tonsils or excess throat tissue to open the airway.

    What Is Snoring?

    Snoring occurs when airflow is obstructed, causing tissues in the throat to vibrate. While often harmless, it can indicate a more serious condition like sleep apnea.
