Sleep Apnea Oral Devices

Sleep is the basis of good health feeling well and essentially being happy. Having a good nights sleep allows our body time to recover and rejuvenate, therefor people who suffer with sleep related breathing disorders such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring can experience effects on their health work and day to day activities.

What is sleep apnea?

Snoring

While you Sleep your body relaxes and muscles soften causing the tongue to drop back as it relaxes and reduce the airflow as you are breathing. The soft tissue may vibrate and this causes you to snore.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

If you have obstructive sleep apnea your airway periodically closes over and prevents air from getting to your lungs as you sleep. An apea can last from anywhere from a ten seconds to an entire minute in severe cases. Multiple apeas through the night can cause sleep disturbance due to a lack of oxygen to the brain.
