Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night. It not only disrupts your sleep quality but can also affect your overall health, increasing the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and more.
There are three main types of sleep apnea. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common and occurs when the airway becomes physically blocked during sleep. Central Sleep Apnea happens when the brain fails to send proper signals to the breathing muscles, while Complex Sleep Apnea is a combination of both obstructive and central patterns.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud, chronic snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, and waking up with headaches or a dry mouth. Many patients also experience daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes or irritability due to interrupted sleep. These signs often indicate breathing disruptions at night and should be evaluated by a professional.

Dental solutions for sleep apnea often include custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw to keep the airway open, offering an effective and comfortable alternative to CPAP for mild to moderate cases. Depending on the severity and underlying causes, additional treatments such as orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, or full-mouth reconstruction may also improve breathing and sleep quality. These approaches help reduce snoring, prevent airway collapse, and support long-term overall health.
