Omaha Sleep Apnea & Snoring
SNORING
Snoring is no laughing matter. It is a symptom of sleep apnea, but even "simple snoring" can be an unhealthy nuissance. The good news is there is a non-surgical treatment.
SLEEP APNEA
Obstructive sleep apnea causes people to stop breathing in their sleep, causing daytime sleepiness and ultimately organ failure. Luckily, treatment is available.
CPAP Alternative
It used to be that a sleep apnea diagnosis meant that a patient was doomed to night after uncomfortable night of restless sleep because of CPAP. Not anymore!

Snoring is the most physically noticeable precursor to identifying a person with Sleep Apnea. It is important to realize that most people with Sleep Apnea will snore, however, not all snorers have Sleep Apnea. Snoring is defined as an obstruction in the airway that can cause loud sounds and vibrations. Unlike snoring, Sleep Apnea is disruptions in the airflow that will prevent a person from breathing periodically throughout the night (sometimes several hundred episodes a night). Consequently, sleep apnea can be identified through snoring, but it is a far more dangerous problem if left untreated.
Above are oral appliances that can be used to treat sleep apnea and snoring.
