Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious condition where the airway collapses or becomes blocked during sleep, disrupting breathing and lowering oxygen levels. Left untreated, it can increase risks for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and chronic fatigue. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas City, we provide accurate diagnosis and non-surgical therapies that improve sleep quality and protect overall health.

When To Seek This Treatment

Diagnosis

Airway Collapse

Soft tissue in the throat relaxes and obstructs airflow during sleep.
Diagnosis

Tongue Position

The tongue falls backward and blocks the airway, especially while lying down.
Diagnosis

A retruded or small jaw reduces airway space and increases obstruction risk.

Jaw Position
Diagnosis

Low muscle tone allows tissues to collapse during sleep.

Low muscle tone allows tissues to collapse during sleep.
Diagnosis

Excess Weight

Why Choose Us?

Medication & Surgery

Why Traditional Methods Fail

  • Low CPAP Compliance
    Many patients struggle with masks and hoses, making long-term use difficult
  • One-Size Devices
    Generic appliances may not reposition the jaw or tongue effectively
  • Surgical Risks
    Procedures are invasive, carry risks, and don’t guarantee permanent results
  • Symptom-Only Focus
    Approaches that don’t strengthen the airway often fail to maintain long-term improvements

Our Non Surgical Approach

  • Custom Sleep Appliances
    Reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open naturally during sleep
  • Myofunctional Therapy
    Strengthen oral and airway muscles while encouraging nasal breathing
  • Laser Therapy
    Tighten soft tissues and reduce snoring without surgery
  • Collaborative Care
    Work alongside sleep physicians when advanced testing or combined treatment is needed

Sleep Apnea & Whole-Body Health

Untreated sleep apnea doesn’t just cause poor sleep — it affects the entire body. Patients with sleep apnea are more likely to struggle with high blood pressure, weight gain, chronic fatigue, and impaired immune function. Treating sleep apnea helps restore energy, balance hormones, and reduce the risk of long-term disease.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea is one of the specialized services we provide at the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas City. Our focus is on identifying the root causes behind your symptoms and delivering safe, non-surgical solutions that support long-term health and comfort.

Warning signs include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, morning headaches, daytime fatigue, and trouble concentrating. Many people are unaware of their nighttime symptoms until a partner notices them.

Yes. Untreated sleep apnea lowers oxygen levels and increases the risk of serious conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression. It also contributes to chronic fatigue that affects daily safety and performance.

Not always. While CPAP is effective for some patients, many struggle to use it consistently. Non-surgical alternatives like oral appliances, myofunctional therapy, and airway-focused care are effective, comfortable, and easier to tolerate for long-term use.

Some patients notice reduced snoring and improved sleep within the first few weeks of care. More significant improvements in oxygen levels, energy, and long-term health typically develop over several months of consistent therapy.

Weight loss can reduce the severity of sleep apnea in some cases, but it rarely eliminates the condition entirely. Structural factors like jaw position, tongue posture, and muscle tone often continue to contribute, which is why comprehensive treatment is important.
