Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatment

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by periodic breathing interruptions during sleep. Snoring, often associated with sleep apnea, is caused by vibrations of soft tissues in the throat during air inhalation. Both conditions can result in insufficient oxygenation of the body, leading to fatigue, concentration issues, and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.
