More adults than ever are seeking straighter teeth - perhaps due to advancements in modern dentistry that allow for more discreet and less invasive orthodontic treatments.

Approximately 25 million adults in the U.S. have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which can cause them to stop breathing hundreds of times a night for anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute. OSA is a chronic condition that occurs when your muscles relax during sleep, allowing soft tissue to collapse and block the airway.
