Breathe Better, Sleep Better, Live Better

At Strong Ties Oral Health, we understand that sleep-disordered breathing can impact every aspect of your health and well-being. From snoring to sleep apnea, these issues often stem from underlying airway or jaw development concerns. Our airway-focused treatments are designed to address these root causes, improving not just your sleep but your overall quality of life.

What Is Sleep-Disordered Breathing?

Sleep-disordered breathing encompasses a range of conditions that cause breathing difficulties during sleep, including:

  • Snoring: A common sign of airway obstruction.

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Partial or complete blockage of the airway, leading to pauses in breathing.

  • Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS): A condition where airflow is restricted, causing disrupted sleep without full apnea episodes.

These conditions can result in poor-quality sleep, fatigue, and long-term health risks if left untreated.
