What is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by a collapse of the tissue in the back of your throat. Your airways aren’t just restricted, they can literally collapse!

Effects & Consequences
Millions of people struggle with the effects of poor sleep and low blood oxygen levels without knowing what is wrong.
Treatments
Oral appliance therapy (OAT) is a quiet, comfortable, and economical treatment for sufferers of sleep apnea.

Understanding Snoring: Contributing Factors
Anatomy of the Airway
Narrow airways, enlarged tonsils, or an elongated soft palate can obstruct airflow and lead to snoring.
Nasal Issues
Chronic nasal congestion or a deviated septum can hinder airflow, making snoring more likely.
Age and Muscle Tone
As people age, the throat muscles tend to weaken, increasing the likelihood of snoring.
