What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, caused by airway blockages, can last several seconds and occur multiple times throughout the night. The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the soft tissues in the throat collapse, blocking airflow.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Common signs of sleep apnea include:
- Loud snoring
- Waking up gasping for air
- Morning headaches
- Daytime fatigue or sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability or mood changes
If you experience any of these symptoms, a diagnosis from a sleep specialist can confirm whether you have sleep apnea.
How Sleep Apnea Affects Your Health
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications, including:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Depression and anxiety
- Increased risk of accidents due to fatigue
Addressing sleep apnea promptly can improve your quality of life and prevent these complications.

FAQs About Sleep Apnea Treatment
How is oral appliance therapy different from a CPAP machine?

Is oral appliance therapy effective for all cases of sleep apnea?
Oral appliance therapy is most effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Severe cases may require CPAP or a combination of treatments.
Will my insurance cover sleep apnea treatment?
Many insurance plans, including Medicare, cover oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea. Our team can help verify your benefits.
