What is Sleep Apnea?

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.

The Hidden Dangers of Untreated Sleep Apnea

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

Why the Orthodontic Approach is Different

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.

Traditional Approaches

  • CPAP machines: Bulky, uncomfortable, require nightly use forever

  • Surgery: Invasive, painful, with varying success rates

  • Oral appliances: One-size-fits-all solutions

Dr. Koval's Orthodontic Approach

  • 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:

The Signs You Can't Ignore

Loud snoring or breathing through their mouth at night

Restless sleep — tossing, turning, or unusual sleeping positions

Bedwetting beyond the typical age

ADHD-like behavior — hyperactivity, difficulty focusing, or mood swings

Daytime fatigue or falling asleep during activities

Slow growth or developmental delays

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.

Early Airway Intervention Can Transform Your Child's Life

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.

Adult Sleep Apnea: A Silent Struggle

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

  • Increased risks for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes

Sleep apnea doesn’t just disrupt your nights — it impacts your long-term health.

  • 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

Our Patients Say it Best

Ros M.

"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."

Brittany H.

"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 !"

Denise G.

"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!"

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age do I need to screen my child for correct breathing and tongue posture?

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.

How Does Early Treatment Benefit My Child?

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.
