Your sleep impacts every aspect of your daytime activities. Sleep problems can be harmful to your health and wellbeing. Two of the most common sleep problems are OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA and SNORING.

Snoring can be an indication of a serious condition. Does your sleep partner complain about you snoring? During sleep, your airway may get blocked and vibrate which causes snoring. This situation can be corrected with the help of a dental device.
Research shows that an oral appliance is an effective way of treatment for snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). An oral appliance is worn in the mouth while you sleep. This oral appliance fits like a sports mouthguard or an orthodontic retainer. Many patients consider an oral appliance to be more comfortable than a CPAP machine with a mask and a hose.
