Sleep Apnea Solutions in Houston, TX

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, or UPPP, is a surgical procedure that treats sleep apnea by removing excess tissue in the throat and, as a result, widens the airway. This allows air to move through the throat more easily when patients breathe, effectively reducing the symptoms of snoring and sleep apnea.

What are SomnoGuard® Oral Appliances?

SomnoGuard® devices are made of a thermoplastic material. When heated in a hot water bath the material softens and is custom fit to the patient

How do oral appliances work to treat sleep apnea and snoring?

SomnoGuard® oral appliances help advance the lower jaw and tongue, thus opening up the upper airways. It helps keep the soft tissue and the muscles of the upper airways tight. The vibration of the soft palate and uvula (which is what causes the snoring sound) is reduced and in the best cases, prevented entirely.
