According to medical research, sleep conditions such as sleep apnea, snoring, insomnia, and other sleep disorders affect roughly 90 million people in North America. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airways collapse or become obstructed during sleep. Patients may struggle to breathe as their oxygen levels drop. Symptoms can include loud snoring, and choking gasping. Symptoms during the day can include unexplained sleepiness or fatigue, dry mouth, sore throat and depression.

There are three major treatment options for the disorder: oral surgery; a CPAP device; and an oral appliance. Patients with severe cases of sleep apnea can elect to have invasive oral surgery by an oral surgeon if other treatment options are unsuccessful. A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device is the most common treatment for moderate to severe levels of the disorder. However, a simple solution would be an oral appliance which is made to fit easily in a patient's mouth, and is often a comfortable solution for individuals with the condition.
