Half the population snores… Why should you be concerned?
Heavy snoring may be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This is a life threatening condition that affects 25 Million U.S. adults.
Sleep apnea is considered a serious threat to your health because you can go undiagnosed and untreated for years. The symptoms are hard to notice and many people attribute them to stress. Or, like many patients say, “If you don’t know it’s going on, you don’t realize it’s a problem”.

sleep apnea treatment options
If you take 20 minutes to research sleep apnea treatment options, you’ll probably come across many horror stories about people failing to recover from surgery and being unable to tolerate CPAP machines. While these treatments are necessary in some cases, mild to moderate sleep apnea can be treated successfully with dental devices (oral appliances). This solution is unobtrusive and is covered by most health insurances.
CPAP and surgery are not the only solutions.
