What is sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea happens when your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These pauses can happen many times an hour, often without you waking up fully. Over time, this can reduce oxygen levels in your body and disrupt the sleep your body needs.

Common signs and symptoms

You may have sleep apnea if you experience:

  • Loud snoring
  • Gasping or choking during sleep
  • Waking up feeling tired or unrefreshed
  • Morning headaches
  • Difficulty concentrating during the day
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness

Why treatment is important

Without treatment, sleep apnea can contribute to more serious health concerns, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and chronic fatigue. It can also affect your daily performance, mood, and overall well-being.

How we treat sleep apnea

At Fortis Dental, we provide custom oral appliances designed to keep your airway open while you sleep. These small, comfortable devices are worn at night and gently reposition your jaw to improve airflow.
