What is Sleep Apnea and Snoring?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes people to stop breathing for brief periods during sleep. It is often accompanied by loud snoring, choking, or gasping sounds. Sleep apnea can cause a range of health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Snoring, on the other hand, is a vibration of the tissues in the throat that occurs during sleep. It is often a sign of sleep apnea, but it can also be caused by other factors, such as allergies, congestion, or obesity.

How is Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treated?
There are several treatment options available for sleep apnea and snoring, including lifestyle changes, CPAP machines, and oral appliances.
- Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives, and changing sleep positions, can help reduce the symptoms of sleep apnea and snoring.
- CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines are a common treatment option for sleep apnea. They work by delivering a steady stream of air pressure through a mask that is worn over the nose and mouth during sleep. This helps to keep the airway open, preventing interruptions in breathing.
- Oral appliances, such as SomnoDent appliances, are another option for sleep apnea and snoring treatment. These appliances are custom-made for each patient and are designed to hold the jaw in a slightly forward position. This helps to keep the airway open, preventing snoring and interruptions in breathing.
