What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects more than 22 million people in the United States. There are three types: obstructive, central, and mixed sleep apnea; however, the most common is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It occurs when the tongue or throat muscles collapse onto the airway, preventing proper airflow throughout the night. This obstruction can lead to ceased breathing, which can be dangerous if left untreated.

How We Treat Sleep Apnea

Before proper treatment can be provided, you will be recommended for a sleep study, as this will ensure you receive the necessary diagnosis to get the care you need. At our dental office near Sawgrass, we provide Somnodent oral appliances, which are designed to push the jaw forward slightly so that the airway remains open while you sleep. It’s similar to a traditional mouthguard and is fully customized to fit comfortably inside your mouth.
