Sleep apnea and snoring treatment near Maize

Snoring and sleep apnea sound the same from the other pillow

Snoring is the sound of a narrowed airway vibrating. Sleep apnea is that airway closing, over and over, for ten seconds or more at a time. From the outside they can sound almost identical, and the difference matters: plain snoring is a nuisance, while untreated sleep apnea is linked to high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems and stroke.

That’s why Dr. Love doesn’t treat snoring until sleep apnea has been ruled in or out. Read about snoring treatment.

The test happens in Maize, not in a lab

If you haven’t been diagnosed, we can order a home sleep test. You wear a small monitor for one night in your own bed, and a sleep physician reads the results. There’s no overnight stay in a sleep lab and no extra trip across town for the test itself.

After the test

If the test shows sleep apnea and an appliance is a good fit, you’ll come in for a consultation and 3D scans. Your appliance is custom made for your bite, fitted, and then fine-tuned over a few short visits. From Maize, K-96 around the north side of Wichita keeps the drive simple.
