Snoring occurs when muscles and tissue in the back of the throat relax during deep sleep, restricting and narrowing the airway.
Upon breathing in those tissues vibrate causing the aggravating sound known as snoring.
While people often joke about loud snorers, it could be the sign of something more serious - Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
It's important to have a sleep study if you are a loud snorer, especially if you have waking episodes, sleep interruptions, or if you wake up gasping for air.
Only a sleep study can tell you for sure if you have sleep apnea.

Recently the general public has become increasingly aware of sleep apnea which is being diagnosed at sleep centers throughout the United States.
The reason for this exposure is because research has shown sleep apnea's relation to many medical problems.
There are now many television and newsprint stories highlighting obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs when the muscles in throat relax and the tongue completely blocks the airway.
With no breathing, the body's oxygen level drops and the heart rate increases.

Don't Want to Wear a CPAP?
We hear you!
In fact for the past 12 years we have been listening to patients tell us why they don't wish to wear or consider CPAP.
Even though a CPAP forces air and keeps the airway open, many patients find the side effects such as restrictive face masks, machine noise, and claustrophobia actually compromising their good night's sleep.
Some people even rip off their mask in the middle of the night leaving themselves untreated, a medical risk.
Oral appliance treatment has been the answer for many of these patient's problems.

Oral appliances for sleep apnea treat a medical condition and are considered by medical insurance plans and not dental plans.
Consideration for coverage is often based on results of the sleep study showing apnea and in some cases a patient's inability to tolerate CPAP treatment.
A short letter of necessity from the referring physician may be helpful and is recommended.
Oral appliances are custom made for the individual patient; because of this all appliances must be paid in full at the time they are delivered to the patient.
