Sleep apnea can significantly impact your health and quality of life, but with the right treatment, you can breathe easier, sleep more soundly and feel more energized throughout the day. Our team offers sleep apnea treatment in Houston, Texas, using custom airway appliances.
What Is Sleep Apnea and How Can Airway Appliances Help?
Sleep apnea is a common condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, often due to airway obstruction. It can lead to loud snoring, daytime fatigue, irritability and serious health complications if left untreated.
Custom airway appliances offer a non-invasive, comfortable solution by:
- Keeping the airway open: Gently repositioning the jaw to maintain an open airway.
- Reducing snoring: Minimizing nighttime disruptions for you and your partner.
- Improving sleep quality: Helping you achieve deeper, more restful sleep.
- Enhancing overall health: Lowering the risk of heart disease, stroke and other related issues.
- Providing comfort: Custom-fit devices designed specifically for your mouth and needs.
We create personalized airway appliances that are easy to wear and effective in managing mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
