The word "apnea" means "without breath" and can lead to serious medical conditions including death. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused by a blockage of the airway when we sleep. When we lie down the tongue falling back into the throat (due to gravity) along with the relaxation of the soft tissues blocks some, if not all, of the oxygen from entering our body. This can occur hundreds of times a night leading to this deadily condition.

One of the key symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea is snoring.

Most patients do not know they have sleep apnea which is why more than 93% of women and 82% of men are believed to be undiagnosed.

Both Sleep Apnea and Snoring can be successfully treated with our Oral Appliance.
