Millions of Americans are affected by this same feeling every year, often due to obstructed breathing known as sleep apnea. Usually caused by soft tissue in the back of the throat collapsing and impeding oxygen flow, obstructive sleep apnea affects a significant portion of the population. Central sleep apnea, a similar but less prevalent form of the disorder, isn’t caused by airway blockage but because the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe. While sleep apnea is a common disorder affecting men far more frequently than women, many people are unaware that they suffer from obstructed breathing because the halted breathing doesn’t trigger a full awakening.

Dr. Garelick will evaluate your specific symptoms and then will select the most appropriate oral appliance to correct the airway obstruction and breathing conditions that will ultimately make breathing easier, helping you to finally get the night’s sleep you deserve.
