| Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing, during sleep. Each pause in breathing, called an apnea, can last from a few seconds to minutes, and may occur 5 to 30 times or more an hour. |

Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed. If you are experiencing daytime sleepiness, headaches, and snoring, it may indicate a sleeping disorder.
Dr. Guenther has successfully been treating patients with mild to moderate sleep disorders for several years, with the use of oral sleep appliances, as shown above. We have the technology to provide an "at home" sleep study that provides valuable information for treating the sleep disorder. In partnership with your primary care or sleep physician, we will monitor your progress. Together we can help you and your spouse get a better night's sleep.
