Do You Snore?
Snoring and Sleep Apnea is found in a sizable portion of our population and can impact one's overall general health in a serious fashion. Snoring and sleep apnea can contribute to hypertension (high blood pressure), cardio-vascular disease, stroke & even death.
Risk Factors Include
- Weight Gain
- Age
- Family History
- Misaligned teeth, jaw or palate
- Anatomy of the airway
- Menopause/Hormone deficiency
Most Sleep disordered breathing is a result of diminished airway, either in the oral or nasal passage, leading to noise and obstruction which can profoundly disrupt the sleep quality of the patient and bed partner.
How We Can Help
We can quickly use non-invasive technology to assess the oral and nasal passages. This will determine if an oral appliance can help stabilize the airway and aid in more quiet, restful sleep. To further assist us in your diagnosis, we may recommend you to participate in an overnight sleep study, either at home or in a clinical setting.
