Understanding Sleep Apnea

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea, a common disorder, involves pauses in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, known as apneas, can lead to fragmented sleep, causing daytime fatigue and other health issues.

The Impact on Your Health

Untreated sleep apnea can contribute to cardiovascular problems, impaired cognitive function, and diminished quality of life. Recognizing the signs is crucial for long-term well-being.


Our Services

Personalized Sleep Assessments

Thorough sleep assessments at Ortho South, overseen by Dr. Brandon Boggan and Dr. Zehra Syed, use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, ensuring accurate insights tailored to your specific sleep apnea.


Alternative Therapies

While we do not provide CPAP services, we understand its importance. If necessary, we can refer you to trusted partners for CPAP therapy. Recognizing that not everyone can tolerate CPAP, we explore alternative solutions, including orthodontic treatments.


Orthodontic Solutions

Dr. Brandon Boggan and Dr. Zehra Syed introduce orthodontic treatments as part of our comprehensive approach. These treatments involve custom-designed oral appliances, addressing sleep apnea and snoring by realigning the jaw and tongue to improve airflow and reduce vibrations, promoting better sleep quality.


Combined Orthodontic and Orthognathic Surgical Approaches

Dr. Brandon Boggan and Dr. Zehra Syed at Ortho South offer combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical interventions for more complex cases. This comprehensive approach involves orthodontic treatment to position the teeth correctly, combined with orthognathic surgery to reposition the jaw, ensuring optimal airway flow and effectively addressing sleep apnea and snoring.


Lifestyle Modifications

Beyond medical interventions, Ortho South, guided by Dr. Brandon Boggan and Dr. Zehra Syed, emphasizes lifestyle changes to manage sleep apnea. Our experts guide sleep hygiene, diet, and exercise to enhance sleep quality.
