Sleep Apnea Treatment
Dental solutions for better sleep
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea, occurs when throat muscles relax and block the airway.
Left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
