Most people think of sleep apnea as a medical problem — and it is. But what many don’t know is that the shape of your jaw, the position of your tongue, and the structure of your teeth all directly affect whether your airway stays open while you sleep. As a sleep apnea dentist in Wausau, WI, Wausau Smiles addresses the oral and structural factors behind snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and related breathing disorders.
Snoring, sleep apnea (mild–moderate), TMJ, mouth breathing, pediatric airway
Oral appliance therapy, myofunctional referral
