If you’re waking up tired, snoring loudly, or dragging through your day in a fog, you’re not alone—and it may be more serious than you think. Sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), affects millions of people and is often undiagnosed. But the good news is, 2026 can be the year you take back your nights—and your days.

At Antonio R. Solis, Jr., DDS, we help patients improve their sleep with comfortable, custom oral appliances designed to treat sleep apnea and related conditions. Better sleep doesn’t just mean feeling rested—it means improving your health, focus, mood, and overall quality of life.

The Hidden Impact of Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Many people live with sleep apnea without realizing it. During sleep, the airway becomes partially or completely blocked, causing breathing to stop repeatedly. These pauses can last seconds or even longer and occur dozens—or even hundreds—of times per night.

Health Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea:

  • Increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke
  • Greater chance of diabetes
  • Higher likelihood of depression and anxiety
  • Daytime fatigue that can impact job performance and increase the risk of accidents

Common Symptoms to Watch For

You may be living with a sleep disorder if you or a loved one notice:

  • Loud or chronic snoring
  • Gasping or choking sounds during sleep
  • Morning headaches
  • Waking up feeling tired despite a full night’s rest
  • Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
  • Irritability or mood swings
  • Dry mouth or sore throat in the morning

If these sound familiar, it’s time to consider getting evaluated.

A Custom Oral Appliance Is a Comfortable Solution 

For patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or those who can’t tolerate a CPAP machine, Dr. Solis offers custom oral appliance therapy. These small devices are worn during sleep and work by gently repositioning your jaw to keep the airway open. Many patients find oral appliances more convenient than CPAP therapy, especially for long-term use.

Advantages of Oral Appliances Over CPAP:

  • No bulky machine, mask, or hoses
  • Quiet and discreet
  • Easy to travel with
  • Comfortable and easy to wear
  • Simple to clean and maintain
