Many people don’t realise how common sleep apnea is until they experience constant tiredness or loud snoring that wakes everyone. At Dr Dante Gonzales Orthodontics, our sleep apnea treatment Tracy CA program is designed to help patients breathe properly through the night and improve overall health. It’s a quiet problem that can cause more than poor sleep. Sometimes it leads to high blood pressure, stroke, or even a heart attack if left untreated.
When a person with sleep apnea sleeps, the throat muscles relax too much. The soft tissue in the throat collapses, blocking the airway for a few seconds at a time. The brain then forces the body to wake and start breathing again. This cycle may repeat dozens to a hundred of times per night. This leads to very little real sleep.
Schedule Your Sleep Apnea ConsultationDuring your first visit, we review your symptoms and take X-rays or airway scans to determine how your jaw and mouth behave while you sleep. Sometimes jaw forward movement improves the airway naturally. For others, excess soft tissue or weak throat muscles need targeted correction. Every case is different, and we make sure to tailor the care. That’s how we see it anyway.
Our treatment options vary based on your health and comfort. For some, a custom oral appliance keeps the jaw forward slightly, opening the airway and allowing smooth breathing all night. Others combine orthodontic adjustments with weight loss or CPAP therapy for full recovery. It’s about what works for your body.

Patients often describe waking suddenly, feeling like they are choking or gasping. That’s the brain trying to restart breathing. Over months, this stress increases the risk of heart attack or stroke. It also affects metabolism, making weight loss harder. It’s not just snoring, it’s your body signalling distress.

| Treatment Type | Description | Result |

| Oral Appliance | Custom device keeping jaw forward at night | Easier breathing, quiet sleep |

We start by verifying the condition through proper review of your medical and dental records. Once verification is successful waiting, our orthodontic team prepares a custom treatment plan. For many, the oral appliance is enough, it holds the jaw forward, keeps the throat muscles active, and lets air flow freely.
Each plan is made after a careful review, never rushed. Our services focus on balance, comfort, effectiveness, and safety. Sometimes simple adjustments make a world of difference.
Start Your Sleep Apnea Treatment TodayThe process feels natural after the first few nights. Some patients say they sleep through the night for the first time in years. You may notice better energy, fewer headaches, and calmer mornings. We schedule regular appointments to track progress, making small changes if required.
The treatment is comfortable and fits easily into a normal bedtime routine. You wear the oral appliance, close your mouth, and breathe freely. The airway stays open, and the brain doesn’t need to panic for oxygen. That’s how proper care should feel, steady, peaceful, and simple
