Snoring is often a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, and it can cause serious health issues. If you live in Little Elm or a surrounding district, Millennium Smiles offers you the latest treatment options.
You might think that snoring is normal, but up to 80% of people who have obstructive sleep apnea go undiagnosed. The team at Millennium Smiles can not only check if your snoring is OSA-related but can also help you get a much better night’s sleep.
In the past, your main treatment options included continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, which some people find a little difficult to use. As an alternative, this dental practice offers you custom-fit oral appliances, which are more flexible and comfortable, and still highly effective.

Millennium Smiles can suggest treatment with one of the new appliances following investigation of your symptoms in a sleep lab. The practice encourages you to get a check-up if you experience loud snoring, restless sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, mood disturbances, or difficulty concentrating.
Mayo Clinic, one of America’s most respected health information sources, explains some of the risks of undiagnosed sleep apnea. These include high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, and learning problems in children. The American Sleep Apnea Association puts OSA prevalence as high as 30%, with up to 80% of moderate-to-severe cases going undiagnosed.
Millennium Smiles is working to increase diagnosis rates and also to provide you with several more convenient treatment options. The practice states that its custom-fitted oral appliances allow for fine adjustments over time, giving you more effective long-term relief from symptoms.
“Obstructive sleep apnea can be caused by one of four things: nasal obstruction, soft palate collapse, tongue obstruction, or collapse of the airway in the throat,” a practice representative explained. “Our custom-fitted oral appliances address the specific needs of patients to help them breath better at night. A variety of appliances are available, each with a specific design to address a specific problem.”
