Sleep Apnea Treatment in Montchanin, DE

Stop Snoring and Breathe Better with Sleep Apnea Treatment

Snoring is often dismissed as a harmless habit, but for some, it may be a sign of sleep apnea, a serious condition that disrupts breathing during sleep. At Garrett B. Lyons, DDS, we offer custom oral appliance therapy to help patients breathe more easily, sleep more soundly, and improve their overall health.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes repeatedly blocked during sleep, preventing proper breathing. These blockages cause frequent awakenings, often without the individual realizing it, leading to poor sleep quality and long-term health risks.

Symptoms of sleep apnea include:

  • Loud, persistent snoring
  • Gasping or choking during sleep
  • Excessive daytime fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Morning headaches
  • High blood pressure
 

Untreated sleep apnea can contribute to serious health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, making early diagnosis and treatment essential.
