What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions can last for several seconds and often occur due to airway blockages or improper signals from the brain. Common symptoms include:
- Loud snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Daytime fatigue
- Morning headaches
- Difficulty concentrating
Untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.

Sleep apnea is typically caused by airway blockages (obstructive sleep apnea) or improper brain signals to the muscles controlling breathing (central sleep apnea). Risk factors include obesity, family history, and certain medical conditions.
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Common symptoms include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, daytime fatigue, and morning headaches. A formal diagnosis usually requires a sleep study.
Is a CPAP machine the only treatment for sleep apnea?
No, while CPAP machines are common for severe cases, mild to moderate sleep apnea can often be treated with custom oral appliances that are more comfortable and easier to use.
Are oral appliances effective for sleep apnea?
Yes, custom-fitted oral appliances are highly effective for managing mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea by keeping the airway open during sleep.
What happens if sleep apnea is left untreated?
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and decreased quality of life due to poor sleep.
