Snoring Relief and Sleep Apnea Treatment
Stop Snoring with an Oral Appliance
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops (apnea) and starts during sleep. Several types of sleep apnea exist, but the most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when the throat muscles intermittently relax and block the airway during sleep. The most noticeable sign of obstructive sleep apnea is snoring, although not everyone who has obstructive sleep apnea snores and not everyone that snores has obstructive sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is an often-undiagnosed breathing disorder that can affect the quality of your sleep and can have negative effects on your health.
