RECLAIM YOUR SLEEP: TREAMENTS FOR SLEEP APNEA & DISORDERS
Expert Care for Sleep-Disordered Breathing
If you recognized yourself in any of the sleep disorder symptoms above, it is time to schedule a comprehensive airway and sleep-disordered breathing evaluation. It is estimated that tens of millions of men, women, and children suffer from sleep apnea and compromised airways, yet the vast majority remain undiagnosed and unaware of how to seek proper treatment. Chronic fatigue, heavy snoring, and poor sleep quality are the most common—and debilitating—complaints from those afflicted. Without intervention, these nighttime breathing struggles take a heavy toll on your daily energy, cardiovascular health, and overall quality of life.
Dr. Kurt Uyehara and our dedicated team provide a warm, caring atmosphere entirely focused on your comfort and restorative rest. Patients from around the world have benefited from our specialized treatments, including custom oral sleep appliances uniquely designed to stabilize the jaw, physically open the airway, and ensure continuous oxygen flow throughout the night.
Since graduating from the University of Missouri School of Dentistry in Kansas City in 1990, Dr. Uyehara has maintained a dedicated clinical focus on airway health and sleep-disordered breathing. He continually pushes his educational boundaries and frequently shares his expertise as a lecturer, including presentations for the Hawaii Dental Association and the Vancouver, BC Orthodontic and Sleep Symposium. His treatment philosophy is strictly conservative and preventative, emphasizing a multidisciplinary network of medical professionals to ensure the highest standard of care for his sleep patients.

SLEEP APNEA & DISORDERS RELIEF
SNORING TREATMENTS
Snoring isn’t just a noise issue; it’s a structural airway collapse that precise TMJ treatment physically corrects. When a misaligned lower jaw falls backward during sleep, the base of the tongue drops with it, pinching the airway shut and creating the loud, vibratory friction of snoring. By utilizing a custom TMJ night appliance to gently hold the mandible in an optimal, forward-resting position, the airway is mechanically stented open. This simple but powerful realignment prevents the soft tissues from collapsing, silencing snoring at its source and restoring the continuous, unobstructed oxygen flow required for deep, uninterrupted rest.
For those patients who are CPAP intolerant, our night sleep apnea appliances can be a great alternative.

For patients who find themselves constantly battling a CPAP machine—struggling with claustrophobic masks, disruptive noise, or tangled hoses—our custom sleep apnea night appliances offer a life-changing, non-invasive alternative. Rather than forcing air through an uncomfortable apparatus, these sleek, travel-friendly oral orthotics work directly with your anatomy to physically maintain an open airway.
