Many people may not realize they suffer from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. And, the more we age, the more likely we are to struggle with sleep apnea—it is estimated that approximately 26% of adults between the ages of 30-70 experience obstructive sleep apnea. Furthermore, the prevalence of sleep apnea increases with age; 67% of elderly men and 54% of elderly women may suffer from this problem.

You may have noticed some of your sleep apnea symptoms, but many times it is a sleeping partner who will notice first.
Signs you may suffer from sleep apnea include:
The continuous positive airwar pressure device (CPAP) helps to open the throat to reduce snoring and increase breathing throughout the night. The CPAP is a face mask that is worn throughout the night that provides positive air flow to keep the airways open while you sleep.
Oral appliances are an alternative sleep aid to the CPAP machine. There are many different types of oral appliances available that look similar to a mouthguard athletes wear while playing sports. These appliances promote the opening of the airway to provide a better night’s sleep.
The Solea Sleep laser can treat palatal snoring, the cause for snoring in about 80% of people who snore. Solea uses a specific wavelength, tightening collagen fibres in the soft palate tissue using a laser in one 5-minute session. Tightening the tissue helps to open the airway and reduce vibrations from snoring.
