Do you snore at night? Have you been told that you stop breathing while sleeping? Do you ever wake up at night gasping and choking for air? … You could be one of the millions who suffer from Sleep Apnea.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a disorder that occurs when breathing is repeatedly interrupted during the night. When this happens, the oxygen flow to the brain and other organs either slows down or completely stops. This causes the brain to signal the body to wake up and gasp for air. Oxygen deprivation and interrupted sleep put a lot of physical stress on the body and can cause fatigue, memory problems, poor concentration, and morning headaches.

This tightens the soft tissues and muscles of the upper airway, which prevent obstruction while you sleep. Custom Oral Appliances also prevent the tissues of the upper airway from vibrating as air passes over them, which is the major cause of snoring.
