Understanding Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Snoring Snoring is the sound produced when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is partially blocked during sleep. It can lead to disrupted sleep for both the snorer and their partner.
Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea is a more serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This can lead to decreased oxygen levels and result in fatigue, morning headaches, and other health problems.

Non-Invasive Unlike traditional CPAP machines, oral appliances do not involve masks or hoses.
