Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. Approximately 25 million adults in the U.S. have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which can cause them to stop breathing hundreds of times a night anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute.
Treatment options for sleep apnea vary and may be as simple as wearing a dental appliance during sleep. A custom-made dental appliance may be your best treatment to reposition your jaw and tongue to improve airflow.
A good night’s sleep has the power to restore the body so you can perform your best. Schedule an appointment today to chat with Dr. Kwong if you’re experiencing morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness, dry mouth or any recent pain and/or discomforts.
