What Is Sleep Apnea?

According to the American Dental Association, snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, central sleep apnea, hypopnea, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are among the many diagnoses that fall under the category of sleep-related breathing disorders. Over 80% of cases of sleep-disordered breathing in the United States are caused by OSA, which is the most common type of sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea Treatment At Our Practice

Custom Oral Appliances: A personalized oral appliance can be designed by Dr. Hester to help your jaw and tongue move in more favorable positions. This will aid in opening the airway, creating a steady flow of air. Dr. Hester will ensure your oral appliance is fitting correctly during your treatment.

Who Can Benefit From These Solutions?

Individuals with Health Conditions: Appropriate sleep apnea management may result in notable health improvements for patients with diabetes and high blood pressure. According to JADA, people with OSA appear to be more likely to have several other conditions, even though there is no proof that one condition causes the other.

Adults and Children with OSA: Although it can happen to children, OSA is more common in adults. As people age, their risk of developing this form of sleep apnea rises, which oral appliances can address. Women are also less likely than men to have OSA before menopause.

Don’t feel stuck with sleep apnea. Untreated sleep apnea can affect your energy, focus, mood, and more. The good news? Relief is possible.
