Hear From Our Patients
Many patients seek treatment after years of poor sleep, snoring, fatigue, or struggling with CPAP without finding a comfortable, long-term solution. A comprehensive airway evaluation can help identify the root cause and guide the right treatment for better sleep and overall health.
⭐ "After 10+ years of struggling with various CPAP machines and masks, my neurologist suggested I consider an oral sleep apnea appliance. Dr. Marzban and her team were amazing. The fitting process was exacting, and from the first night wearing my appliance, it was life changing. I finally started getting solid sleep. Five years later, I remain incredibly grateful for their expertise in treating my sleep apnea."
⭐ "Dr. Marzban is amazing. I had issues with sleep and TMJ, and all of my questions were answered. Highly recommend!"
⭐ "Dr. Marzban relieved my constant headaches with a ProSomnus sleep device. Decades of pain, clenching, and grinding are still relieved years later. She is an expert in her field."
Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops or becomes shallow during sleep, causing you to wake—sometimes hundreds of times a night. You may not remember waking, but the effects are felt every day: fatigue, poor focus, headaches, and irritability.
When airflow is partially blocked, it often causes snoring, a key warning sign that the airway is collapsing. While snoring may seem harmless, it can indicate a deeper problem with oxygen flow and sleep quality.
If you experience any of the following, you may have sleep apnea:
Loud or chronic snoring
Gasping or choking during sleep
Daytime fatigue or “brain fog”
Morning headaches or dry mouth
High blood pressure
Difficulty focusing or memory lapses
Jaw clenching or teeth grinding
If these symptoms sound familiar, a professional evaluation can help determine the underlying cause.
Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment Options
Our care plans are personalized and stepwise, starting conservatively and building as needed:
Oral Appliance Therapy
Custom oral appliances reposition the jaw during sleep to keep the airway open. Comfortable, discreet, and an effective alternative to CPAP for many patients.
Myofunctional Therapy
Simple exercises retrain tongue and facial muscles to improve breathing, reduce snoring, and support long-term airway health.
CPAP Alternatives & Support
For patients who struggle with CPAP, we explore alternative treatments or combine therapies to improve comfort and results.
Tongue-Tie & Airway Development
Restricted tongue movement can impact breathing. In some cases, tongue-tie release may improve airway function and sleep quality.
Your consultation is the first step toward understanding what is causing your symptoms and how they can be treated.

✔ Review your symptoms and health history
