Sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder in which airflow is repeatedly blocked during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airway collapses or becomes restricted due to jaw position or soft tissue relaxation. These breathing interruptions can reduce oxygen levels and fragment sleep throughout the night. Many people with sleep apnea are unaware of the condition until symptoms worsen. Proper evaluation and treatment are essential for long-term health and restorative sleep.
Custom-fitted oral appliances gently reposition the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway open during sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP for many patients.
Detailed bite and jaw analysis helps determine how jaw position affects airway space and guides appliance design.
A sleep study is typically required for diagnosis before sleep apnea treatment in Fremont, CA, begins.
