Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Breathe Easier and Sleep Better
If you or a loved one suffers from snoring or sleep apnea, you know how much it can affect your sleep quality and overall well-being. Snoring can be more than just a nighttime annoyance; it can signal a more serious condition like sleep apnea. Sleep apnea interrupts your breathing during sleep, leading to poor rest, fatigue, and increased health risks.
At Solace Wellness Center & MedSpa, we offer advanced, non-invasive treatments to help you breathe easier and sleep better. With a variety of CPAP alternatives designed to treat both snoring and sleep apnea, including our innovative oral appliance therapy, we aim to restore your restful nights and improve your quality of life.

- Daytime exhaustion
- Snoring or gasping during sleep
- Morning headaches
- Restlessness
- Irritability
- Trouble concentrating
- High blood pressure
- Dry mouth upon waking

Treatment Options
In order to provide the most appropriate treatment, we need to assess where the flow of oxygen is being blocked while you sleep. Is it in your nasal passage, in the back of the throat, your tonsils or is it lower down below your tongue? A proper diagnosis is important to recommending the correct treatment. There are several options available for OSA patients, and depending on the individual, one option may be more appropriate than another.
Some individuals with sleep apnea use a breathing machine called a CPAP to provide them with enough oxygen while they sleep. If there is floppy tissue in the back of your throat, a special laser treatment called NightLase can be performed to tighten up that tissue in 3 treatments to allow air to pass more easily and decrease or eliminate your snoring.
Others wear a mouthpiece before bed that keeps the jaws in an optimal position and prevents the tongue from sliding to the back of the mouth.
Finally, the FDA-cleared Vivos System, a removable palatal expansion device, is a system is a treatment option that uses customized oral devices to help patients redevelop their oral structures to create more room in the mouth.
The Solace Wellness Center & MedSpa is a Vivos provider, so if you know or suspect that you suffer from sleep apnea, reach out to our office at 978-851-8600 or request an appointment. Our medical professionals will explain the ins and outs of the system and help you determine whether it’s the right choice for your treatment.
