About Northern Virginia Sleep Solutions

Many sleep problems are related to your oral health. Sleep apnea, snoring and teeth grinding (bruxism) all begin in the oral cavity and can be managed with dental treatments. At Northern Virginia Sleep Solutions in Alexandria, VA, our dentist and sleep specialist, Dr. Hye Park, offers advanced treatments for sleep apnea, snoring and bruxism that can improve your oral and overall health.

Sleep apnea and snoring go hand-in-hand for many of our patients. Loud snoring is one of the indicators of obstructive sleep apnea. Both occur when the soft palate in the back of the throat and mouth vibrates when breathing while you sleep. Treatments for both snoring and sleep apnea can include wearing oral devices that adjust the tongue and soft tissues in the mouth, allowing for improved and quieter breathing during sleep.

At Northern Virginia Sleep Solutions, we offer oral appliance therapy utilizing several FDA-approved devices for sleep apnea treatment. These devices are customized to fit each patient’s mouth and teeth to improve their breathing while they sleep. Our sleep apnea specialist can determine the best device to reduce snoring and sleep apnea symptoms.

Sleep Apnea, Snoring and Teeth Grinding Treatment
Oral appliances are a non-intrusive option for sleep apnea treatment, and they can also improve snoring and teeth grinding. If you have any of these sleep disorders, wearing a specialized dental nightguard or other appliance may be the best option for relieving your symptoms. Our dentist specializes in oral sleep disorders that can benefit from oral appliance therapy – she can recommend the best device for your specific needs.

Laser Treatment for Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Snoring and sleep apnea can occur due to excess soft palate tissue in the back of the mouth. Northern Virginia Sleep Solutions offers advanced laser treatments that can tighten and raise the soft palate to minimize snoring and improve nocturnal breathing. These treatments are non-invasive and can reduce snoring by 50% or more.
