CLINICS MENU < Go to Specialty & Emerging Sleep Apnea & Snoring Therapy We have snoring solutions and obstructive sleep apnea treatment options for you. People who snore loudly are often the target of bad jokes and middle-of-the-night elbow thrusts, but snoring is no laughing matter. While loud, disruptive snoring is at best a social problem that may strain relationships, loud habitual snoring may signal a potentially life-threatening disorder: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The good news? At First Choice Dental, we have helped countless patients relieve their snoring and sleep apnea with custom-fit oral appliances that help shift the position of the jaw. Snoring Is Not Necessarily Sleep Apnea It is important to distinguish between snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Many people snore. It's estimated that approximately 30 to 50% of the U.S. population snore at one time or another, some significantly. Significant snoring can cause several problems—including marital discord, sleep disturbances, and waking episodes—however snoring does not always equal OSA. Still, even a social inconvenience can require treatment, and there are several snoring solutions we can discuss with you or your partner. Treatment Options It all starts with a free consultation at First Choice Dental where we will assess your symptoms and recommended treatment. Following this appointment, you may be asked to take an at-home sleep test. Depending on the sleep test results, you may be fitted with a removable oral appliance that shifts the position of your jaw to alleviate snoring or sleep apnea. Then, we’ll go from there! Some non-medical snoring solutions may also alleviate snoring, including losing weight, changing your sleeping position, and avoiding alcohol, caffeine, heavy meals, and sedatives.

View Location Early Orthodontic Care May 12, 2021 Did you know that the American Association of Orthodontics recommends that all children have a checkup with an orthodontic specialist beginning at seven years old? If you remember getting braces in your tweens and teens, seven may sound young; however, orthodontists can now detect subtle tooth and jaw development issues much earlier—even while a child’s baby teeth are still present.
