Sleep disorders affect 5-20% or more of the population. They are slowly being recognized as major factors in human illness and premature death. Medical screening and treatment are not reaching the majority of people at risk. Dental jaw treatment can help some people with this problem.

Oral devices (dental mouthpiece appliances) worn during sleep provide a conservative, non-surgical and very effective way to keep the airway open at night. They can also reduce or stop snoring.
