Sleep apnea

The word “apnea” literally means "without breath." The American Sleep Apnea Association recognizes three forms of sleep apnea: central, mixed, and the most common, obstructive. Although the main cause of sleep apnea may vary with each patient, people with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during the night – sometimes for a minute or longer! This loss of oxygen to the system can contribute to numerous overall health disorders such as headaches, high blood pressure, and impotency.

Obstructive apnea is caused by a blockage of the airway that collapses during sleep. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons of Houston focuses on the correction of obstructive sleep apnea through a procedure that actually repositions the soft tissue in the airway, thus eliminating, or greatly decreasing, the obstruction, and allowing air to pass freely.

If you suffer from sleep apnea, snoring, or are using a breathing machine at night, please contact our office to see if this treatment is appropriate for you. Dr. Stobaugh and Dr. Metz will visit with you about your concerns and discuss treatment options that may offer you (and your spouse) a restful night’s sleep.
