Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep apnea that occurs when the throat muscles and tongue relax while sleeping. This can cause the airway to become obstructed and limit the amount of breath you receive.
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) is rarer than OSA and isn’t caused by a physical obstruction. CSA occurs when your brain doesn’t send the signal to take the next breath while you sleep. This leads to a gap in breathing causing an apnea event.
Mixed Sleep Apnea (MSA), also known as Complex Sleep Apnea, is a mixture of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Central Sleep Apnea.
Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes the sufferer to stop their breathing process multiple times throughout the night. Although a seemingly mild problem at first, the longer you live with sleep apnea, the more devastating it can become. That’s why seeking treatment early is vital.
Too often, symptoms of sleep apnea go unnoticed. Mild symptoms like loud snoring and abrupt wakeups can quickly evolve into frequent headaches and fatigue throughout the day. Learn more about the symptoms of sleep apnea and how they can quickly affect your health.
While the most common treatment for sleep apnea is the CPAP machine, many report complications with the device. Fortunately, other appliances are available to minimize your snoring and treat your sleep apnea symptoms. Learn about them on the treatment page.

Dr. Ralhan can provide a convenient and comfortable oral appliance. These oral appliances are like mouthguards, but they’re created uniquely to treat sleep apnea by keeping your airway open. Dr. Ralhan can also provide guidance on how you can alleviate your sleep apnea through lifestyle changes.
While your dentist may be able to point out signs of sleep apnea, you must be formally diagnosed by a physician to receive treatment. You’ll be diagnosed with the help of a sleep test, which monitors your body while you’re asleep to detect any issues.
Once you have a sleep apnea diagnosis, Dr. Ralhan can help you with a treatment plan. With a convenient mouthguard and some lifestyle changes, you won’t have to worry about sleep apnea.
