Sleep Apnea Treatment in Renton, WA

What is Sleep Apnea Treatment?

Sleep apnea affects millions of people worldwide and can have a serious impact on your quality of life. Most often, being overweight, obese or having other respiratory issues can increase your chances of developing sleep apnea. The condition is caused by the soft tissues at the back of the throat relaxing and covering the airway. This results in loud snoring and cessations in breathing throughout the night. We offer a simple oral device appliance that opens the airway, eliminating sleep apnea symptoms.

Why might Sleep Apnea Treatment be needed?

Because you’re not sleeping properly, you’ll find that you are too exhausted to do anything throughout the day. You may even find yourself falling asleep on the job. The loud snoring at night can also be disruptive to your loved ones.

What happens during Sleep Apnea Treatment?
