We live in a world where our health has become very fragile due to changes in our lifestyle.
Sleep and its benefits to our health have been taken for granted and has resulted in various health issues to ourselves.

Nasal breathing has been under capitalized and replaced either totally or partially by mouth breathing which we have come to recognize as a dangerous and detrimental habit to our health.
Obstruction to proper breathing with oxygen deprivation at night has also become a great concern.
Snoring is noisy breathing while you sleep. It’s a common condition that can affect anyone, although it happens more often in men and people who are overweight. Snoring tends to get worse with age.

Snoring can itself be a symptom of a health problem like Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If you snore often or very loudly, you might need medical help so you (and your loved ones) can get a good night’s sleep.

There has been recent interest in the relationship between Sleep Bruxism (SB) and Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB).
The common CPAP machines in the market are Philips and Resmed.

Mechanical measures include positive airway pressure with a CPAP or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) device and Oral Appliance (OA) therapy.

CPAP is the standard treatment option for OSA and generally can reverse this condition quickly with the appropriate titration of devices.

Oral Appliancess are indicated for

(1) patients with mild-to-moderate OSA who prefer oral appliances to CPAP devices,

(2) patients with mild-to-moderate OSA who do not respond to CPAP therapy, and

(3) patients with mild-to-moderate OSA in whom treatment attempts with CPAP devices fail. They should not be considered effective therapy for patients with severe OSA.

Patients in whom noninvasive medical therapy (eg, CPAP, BiPAP, OAs) fails, should be offered surgical options. Patients should be made aware of the success rates for each surgical procedure.

In the recent years Orthodontists and Dentists have seen the importance of Interventional Orthodontics during early and mixed dentition as a preventive measure against OSA.
