Diagnosis. How do I know?
More than 80% of people who suffer from the effects of mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea are completely unaware. There are variety of symptoms which may indicate you suffer from interrupted sleep. Obvious signs include mouth breathing, snoring, gasping episodes and daytime drowsiness. Not so obvious signs include morning headaches, chronic depression and anxiety, chronic pain and fibromyalgia. Left untreated, OSA can lead to a wide variety of health risks.
How did this happen?
Mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea is often the result of underdeveloped upper and lower jaws. Today more than 80% of adults have orthodontic intervention to correct crooked or crowded teeth and a large majority have had their wisdom teeth extracted because their jaws fail to properly develop. Underdeveloped jaws can create an obstruction in the airway. Why do so many people have underdeveloped jaws?
