Dr. Jang Newton
According to medical research, approximately 50% of Americans aged 40-60 experience sleep disorders. Snoring, a symptom of sleep apnea, is a serious and potentially fatal medical condition. Sleep apnea poses significant health risks and often goes undetected, leading to issues such as irregular heartbeats, hypertension, daytime sleepiness, diabetes, headaches, muscle pain, and even strokes.
Snoring occurs when the soft tissues surrounding the nasal airway come into close contact, causing partial blockage or obstruction, resulting in vibrations. While CPAP remains the primary treatment for severe sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy is a simpler and FDA-approved alternative for patients unable to tolerate CPAP. At Newton Dentistry, our dental team is trained to install and maintain various oral devices designed to keep the tongue positioned below the nasal airway, creating positive airway space to alleviate sleep apnea and sleepiness.
