Sleep apnea is more than just snoring — it's a serious condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These breathing interruptions can happen dozens or even hundreds of times each night, preventing you from getting the deep, restorative sleep your body needs.
When sleep apnea goes untreated, it doesn't just affect your nights — it impacts your entire life:
Chronic fatigue and daytime exhaustion
Morning headaches and difficulty concentrating
Increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
High blood pressure and irregular heartbeat
Weakened immune system
ADHD misdiagnosis in kids
Most people think CPAP machines or surgery are the only solutions for sleep apnea. But Dr. Koval takes a fundamentally different approach — one that addresses the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.
CPAP machines: Bulky, uncomfortable, require nightly use forever
Surgery: Invasive, painful, with varying success rates
Oral appliances: One-size-fits-all solutions
Airway-Focused Treatment: Expands and optimizes your natural airway structure
Customized Solutions: Tailored specifically to your unique airway anatomy
Long-Term Results: Addresses the structural cause, not just the symptoms
Comfortable Process: Gradual, gentle treatment that works with your body's natural development
Family Care: Specialized protocols for both growing children and adults
Sleep Apnea in Children:
These aren't just "phases" your child will outgrow — they could be signs of sleep apnea that's robbing them of the restorative sleep essential for healthy development.
The good news? When caught early, orthodontic treatment can guide your child's facial and airway development, creating lasting improvements in their breathing, sleep, focus, and overall growth.
Early intervention doesn't just improve sleep — it can reshape your child's future health and development.
Ready to give your child the gift of better sleep?
Do you wake up tired, even after a full night’s sleep? Many adults with sleep apnea experience:
Loud snoring and restless nights
Morning headaches or dry mouth
Daytime fatigue, brain fog, and irritability

While CPAP machines are a common treatment, many patients find them uncomfortable and difficult to use. As an orthodontist certified through the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Svitlana Koval takes a different approach:
Advanced diagnostics to uncover airway issues
Comfortable, custom orthodontic solutions designed to improve airflow
Personalized care that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms

"Can’t say enough good things about our experience here. My child has been going through mouth expansion treatment, and the difference it has made in his breathing and overall comfort is incredible. As a parent, it’s such a relief to see him sleeping and breathing better. The doctor is not only so knowledgeable but also truly amazing with kids—she explains everything in a way that makes us feel at ease. Her staff is wonderful too, always kind, patient, and so easy to work with when it comes to scheduling."
"Dr . Koval is truly an expert—knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to every detail. They took the time to explain each step of my MARPE treatment and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The staff is just as wonderful—friendly, helpful, and always ready to answer any questions. This was the best life changing decision for my overall health. I am breathing and sleeping better than I ever have ! And on top of that ..a smile that I am proud to show off !"
"So grateful to have found Dr Kovals practice. I did research on airway orthodontics /MARPE and made a decision to fly to Florida from the Midwest to have a consult with her. Not only is Dr Koval kind and thorough, the staff at her office is also wonderful. I ended up going the MARPE route and I’m so happy I did. I’ve been having issues with teeth grinding, TMJ pain, snoring and mouth breathing. I’m still on my journey but I’m already happy with the progress we’ve made. I also made a consultation for my son!"
Early diagnosis is important to ensure healthy development of your child's head and face. The process begins with a thorough evaluation from Dr. Koval to identify any potential issues..
Treatment at an early age may involve appliance therapy to develop maxillary and mandibular arches and bone structures. Additionally, myofunctional therapy may be utilized as an adjunct to promote proper function of the tongue, cheeks, lips, and peri-oral muscles.
Regular appointments ensure the treatment is progressing as planned and adjustments are made as needed.

Proper breathing and tongue posture are fundamental for correct facial and head development. Issues such as facial deformities, abnormal jaw growth, and crowded teeth can be linked to improper breathing and tongue positioning. Early screening, beginning at age 3, is recommended to address these concerns and promote optimal oral and facial development.
Early treatment lays a foundation for healthy facial, head, and jaw development, as these structures are interconnected with the nasal cavity and ear canals. Ensuring proper development of all these structures is integral to overall oral and facial health.
One evaluation could change your nights — and your health — for years to come.
