Sleep Apnea is a condition in which your breathing repeatedly pauses while you sleep. Each pause can last a few seconds to a minute, starving your heart and brain of oxygen and preventing the deep rest you need. Untreated, the disorder fuels chronic fatigue, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Many people blame their exhaustion on a busy Dubai lifestyle and never realise an airway problem is to blame.
At Le Dente Clinic, Dubais first Neuromuscular and Sleep Dentistry centre, we focus on non-invasive solutions that open the airway, restore healthy breathing, and give patients the deep sleep they have been missing.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Soft tissues at the back of the throat collapse and block airflow.
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): The brain fails to send steady signals to the breathing muscles.
Complex or Mixed Apnea: A combination of OSA and CSA, harder to pinpoint.
- Loud, habitual snoring with choking or gasping
- Waking up unrefreshed even after seven or eight hours in bed
- Afternoon brain fog, trouble focusing, or memory lapses
- Morning headaches or a desert-dry mouth
- Mood swings, irritability, or low-grade depression
- High blood pressure or a racing heartbeat at night
- Jaw pain or clicking (TMJ), sometimes linked to a narrow airway
Ignoring Sleep Apnea raises your risk of heart attack, stroke, persistent hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cognitive decline, and relationship strain caused by thunderous snoring and broken sleep.
Dentists trained in airway-focused neuromuscular dentistry can often correct the root problemjaw position and airway sizewithout a CPAP machine by designing custom oral appliances or guiding gentle jaw expansion.

Q: How do I know if I have Sleep Apnea?
A: Loud snoring plus daytime fatigue is a red flag. A quick overnight sleep test gives a definitive
answer.
Q: Is Sleep Apnea dangerous?
A: Yes. Repeated oxygen drops stress every major organ and sharply raise cardiovascular risk.
Q: Do I have to sleep with a CPAP machine?
A: Not always. Many patients do just as well or better with a custom oral appliance or Vivos therapy.
Q: Can Sleep Apnea be cured?
A: Some patients see long-term resolution after airway expansion and myofunctional therapy, while
others manage it successfully with an oral device.
Q: What will treatment cost?A: Fees depend on the solution chosen. We will outline every option and flexible payment plans
after your consultation.
