Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when there is an involuntary cessation of breathing during sleep. The cessation is due to blockage of the airway when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses and closes during sleep. OSA sufferers may stop breathing hundreds of times per night and are unlikely to remember any of these episodes. Sleep breathing disorders has no age boundaries. Children as well as

• Persistent daytime sleepiness

We offer non-surgical and non-CPAP alternative therapy for Snoring and Sleep Apnea.

We use custom made FDA approved oral appliances which reposition the lower jaw forward during sleep to maintain an open airway.

Oral appliance therapy has a higher acceptance rate then traditional CPAP due to the comfort and ease of use.

We monitor the effectiveness of our oral appliance therapy with a take home monitor that gives us data to validate and make necessary adjustments and modifications for optimal treatment.
