Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by people having more than usual pauses in breathing and multiple brief wake ups. This sleep disturbance can be associated with a number of general health issues.

The gold standard for sleep apnea treatment is still the CPAP forced air machine applied while sleeping. For some people oral appliances that maintain a healthy forward lower jaw position can help as well. This is where we can make a big difference. Sometimes this process also helps to decrease snoring which is great both for the individual and for their partner!
