Sleep apnea doesn’t discriminate on age, gender, race or lifestyle — even children and infants can be diagnosed with sleep apnea. In fact, up to 9% of women and 24% of men have some form of sleep apnea, yet less than 25% of sufferers have been diagnosed.
Sleep apnea occurs when muscles in the tongue and throat relax, and close the airway during sleep, preventing oxygen from reaching the brain. When the brain signals the muscles to open, the sufferer usually wakes with a gasp or snort to resume breathing.
This cycle can repeat dozens of times per night and prevent the sufferer from a good night’s sleep. Sleep apnea is difficult to detect, especially if you sleep alone.
Symptoms of sleep apnea are often misdiagnosed or attributed to other causes. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms and believe you may have sleep apnea, get in touch with our experts:
Imagine waking up with more energy and enthusiasm, so you can enjoy your life and your loved ones.
Untreated sleep apnea leaves sufferers exhausted and moody, night after night with very little relief. It can disturb relationships, impair work performance, inhibit intimacy and even cause depression.
Healthy relationships are so important to a happy, fulfilling life; the Sleep & Snoring Solutions Custom Mouthpiece will give you back the energy you need to engage and enjoy your relationships.
If your OSA is misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, you may be spending money on tests and medications for conditions you don’t even have. For example, if you are prescribed sleeping pills for insomnia, but your insomnia is caused by OSA, the sleeping pills may worsen your condition.
Good sleep is a pillar of our philosophy and vital to a long, healthy life. Risks associated with OSA include diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart attacks, etc., all of which are costly, not to mention debilitating conditions.
The Sleep & Snoring Solutions Custom Mouthpiece is part of a sleep apnea treatment service covered by all private insurance companies. We can even help you find out if you’re covered!

Restful sleep will give you more energy and focus to tackle your day and enjoy your life. Work performance is greatly improved by good sleep, so you can excel in your career and provide for your family.
With more focus, you’ll be less prone to car or work-related accidents, which are extremely common among undiagnosed OSA sufferers. In fact, driving while sleepy poses the same risk to drivers as driving under the influence of alcohol.
Why take on the risk when there is a Sleep & Snoring Solutions Solution?
OSA is linked to a variety of life-threatening medical conditions, including:
Brain Damage: Sleep apnea repeatedly starves the brain of oxygen. The continuous lack of oxygen damages brain tissue and interferes with blood flow, causing spikes in blood pressure that damage the smaller arteries and capillaries within the brain. Researchers believe untreated OSA plays a role in a variety of impaired cognition conditions, including dementia and other forms of memory loss.
Cardiovascular Diseases: OSA may increase the rate of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, stroke, heart arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), myocardial ischemia (decreased blood flow to the heart) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
Diabetes: OSA has been found to increase insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes. Diabetes is very common among OSA sufferers, although both conditions have a strong correlation to obesity.
Asthma: People with asthma have a higher risk of OSA, which can worsen both conditions and be potentially deadly.
All of these conditions have a strong likelihood of shortening your life and severely decreasing your quality of life.

Sleep and Snoring Solutions
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
