Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Caused by airway blockage from soft tissue or tongue positioning.
Central Sleep Apnea: Occurs when the brain doesn't send proper signals to breathing muscles.
Loud, chronic snoring
Pauses in breathing or gasping during sleep
Morning headaches or dry mouth
Daytime sleepiness and fatigue
Difficulty concentrating or memory issues
Oral Appliances: Custom dental devices reposition the lower jaw to prevent airway blockage, offering a non-invasive, comfortable alternative to CPAP masks or surgery.
Behavioral Recommendations: Reducing habits like smoking, alcohol, or sedative use that worsen sleep apnea.
Surgical Solutions: In select cases, minor oral surgeries adjust jaw positioning to improve airflow and prevent airway collapse.
