Breathe Easy, Sleep Better
Many people think snoring is just a harmless nighttime nuisance, but it can actually be a sign of a serious health condition: sleep apnea. If you or your partner experience loud, persistent snoring or interrupted breathing during sleep, it could be more than just a sleep issue—it could be affecting your overall health.
Our team offers effective, noninvasive treatments that address the root cause of sleep apnea. With a simple at-home sleep study and a custom sleep appliance, we can help you breathe easier and sleep better.
Don’t let sleep apnea disrupt your life. Book a consultation today to find out how we can help you get the restful sleep you deserve.
Request AppointmentWhat Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, or apneas, can last from a few seconds to minutes and often occur multiple times throughout the night.
The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where the airway becomes blocked, typically by the soft tissue at the back of the throat. This causes a lack of oxygen and disrupts your normal sleep cycle.
Signs & Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea can be tricky to diagnose because it often occurs while you’re asleep. However, you may notice signs and symptoms that suggest sleep apnea, such as:
- Loud, persistent snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Excessive daytime fatigue or sleepiness
- Difficulty staying awake during the day, even after a full night’s sleep
- Irritability or mood changes
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
If you’re noticing these symptoms in yourself or your partner, it’s time to take action and explore your treatment options.
How Sleep Apnea Can Impact Your Health
Sleep apnea may seem like just a sleep disturbance, but it can have an effect on more than just your rest. When your body isn’t getting enough oxygen during the night, it can put extra stress on your health. Some potential impacts include:
- Increased blood pressure
- Greater risk of heart-related issues
- Possible weight gain
- Daytime fatigue and reduced energy
- Difficulty focusing or staying productive
The good news is that with the right treatment, these risks can be minimized. Addressing sleep apnea early can help you feel better and enjoy a higher quality of life.
How We Can Help You Manage Sleep Apnea
We offer an effective, noninvasive treatment for sleep apnea—sleep appliances. These custom-designed devices are worn at night to keep your airway open by gently repositioning your jaw.
Our process starts with a simple at-home sleep study using a MediByte take-home kit. This easy to use device records data as you sleep for one or two nights, which is then uploaded for analysis.
Based on the results, we’ll determine if a sleep appliance is right for you or if further testing is needed.
Causes & Risk Factors of Sleep Apnea
While sleep apnea can affect anyone, certain factors increase your risk, including:
- Nasal congestion (difficulty breathing through the nose can lead to more frequent apneas)
- Being overweight
- Having a large neck circumference
- Being male (men are more likely to have sleep apnea)
- Aging (older adults are at higher risk)
- Family history of sleep apnea
- Alcohol or sedative use (which relaxes the muscles in the throat)
- Smoking (increases inflammation and fluid retention in the upper airway)
