Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when something partly or completely blocks your upper airway when you’re sleeping. This causes the muscles used for respiration to work harder. This extra effort to breathe through a narrowed airway causes the snoring or gasping sound that the body creates during apnea.

What are the symptoms of OSA? 

• Daytime sleepiness
• Loud snoring
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability and depression

How does an intraoral appliance help?

During sleep, an intraoral device grips the jaw and pulls it slightly forward, thus allowing positive airflow through the nasal duct. Intraoral devices are available in a variety of forms, including those with thinner centerpieces that allow for more room for the tongue and extra lateral flexibility.
