Sleep apnea

Sleep apnea

Sleep apnea is characterized by episodes of interrupted respiratory flow when an individual sleeps. This sleep disorder affects a significant proportion of middle-aged adults and should not be ignored, as it can have serious consequences serious consequences such as myocardial infarction (heart attack)..

If you snore, have unrefreshing sleep and feel drowsy during the day, it’s important to consult your doctor to assess whether you suffer from sleep apnea.

Diagnosis and treatment

The diagnosis and development of a treatment plan for sleep apnea must be carried out by a physician.

However, the orthodontist may have a role to play in the treatment of this condition. In fact, when recommended by a physician, we will make and fit oral appliances for the treatment of sleep apnea.

We also work in collaboration with Biron Sleep Care to screen adult and pediatric patients for sleep apnea. For more information on sleep apnea, please visit the Biron Sleep Care website Biron Sleep Care.
