Sleep apnea episodes can occur hundreds of times per night – and you most likely are not even aware of it! The word apnea comes from a Greek word that means “breathless” or “without breathing.” If you suffer from this condition, your tongue and soft tissues in the back of your throat relax and temporarily block your airway.
When your airway becomes obstructed, your brain will signal your body to wake up and take in more oxygen. After you do, you drift off to sleep again – until the next cycle of sleep apnea occurs. Because of this frequent lack of oxygen and resulting sleep deprivation, the condition is linked to serious health issues like diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes.
We offer sleep apnea treatment that not only minimizes these health risks but also reduces snoring. Our simple, custom-made oral appliance:
The result is that you’ll sleep better – and your household will, too! You will wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. Best of all, you won’t have to worry about using a bulky, noisy CPAP machine. While CPAP therapy is effective for sleep apnea symptoms, many patients have a hard time getting used to it. With our help, you can avoid a CPAP, sleep better, and feel better!

Sleep apnea occurs when your tongue and other soft tissues in your throat relax and temporarily block your airway. Your breathing will be interrupted until your brain signals your body to wake up and take in more oxygen. You take a few normal breaths before dozing off to sleep once more. This cycle can repeat itself dozens of times an hour throughout the night.
Sleep apnea is a dangerous condition that does more than just disrupt your sleep. It has been linked to serious health problems such as strokes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Getting the treatment you need can help you sleep more soundly, feel better, and improve your overall health.
With obstructive sleep apnea, your airway slowly becomes constricted as you fall asleep. To treat it, you need to find a way to keep breathing by keeping your airway open. A CPAP machine can help, but lots of people have problems using a CPAP consistently. We can design a custom-made oral appliance that shifts your jaw in a way that allows you to breathe freely throughout the night.
