Understanding Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Snoring is more than just an annoyance — it can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious condition where the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing breathing to temporarily stop.
Left untreated, sleep apnea is associated with increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It also causes significant daytime fatigue that affects work performance, relationships, and quality of life.
A custom dental appliance (mandibular advancement splint) is a comfortable, non-invasive treatment option — often preferred over CPAP machines by patients with mild-to-moderate sleep apnea.
