    HOUSTON, TX, January 27, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Houston sleep apnea dentist, Dr. Heather Fleschler, is proud to announce she is treating Primary Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) cases at her Houston practice. If you or a loved one suffers from Snoring or Sleep Apnea, is suspicious of Sleep Apnea or is CPAP intolerant, please call Dr. Fleschler to schedule a Sleep Consultation. Dr. Fleschler is the founder of Heather F. Fleschler, D.D.S., F.A.G.D., located in Houston Texas.

Obstructive Sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep apnea and is caused by obstruction of the upper airway. The individual with OSA is rarely aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening. 100 Million adults worldwide have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA.)

Snoring can be a symptom or a sleep breathing disorder by itself called Primary Snoring. This is loaded breathing, which is not a natural effort, and creates difficulty for air to move down. 90% of Loud snorers have sleep apnea.

"Many people suffer from sleep apnea and it can lead to serious health risks," Houston Sleep Apnea dentist Dr. Fleschler said. "We work one-on-one with our patients using a physiologic approach to treat snoring and sleep apnea".

People who suffer from sleep apnea can stop breathing as many as 30 times or more each night. Some serious problems related to sleep apnea include:

- Impaired cognitive function
- Impaired quality of life
- Daytime sleepiness
- Hypertension
- Worsened glucose tolerance
- Increased mortality rates
- Increased healthcare costs

People who suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea have an increased risk of Hypertension, Arrhythmias, Myocardial Infarction, Cerebral Vascular Accidents, Pulmonary Hypertension, Congestive Heart Failure, Diabetes - Glucose Intolerance, Increased Daytime Sleepiness, Decreased Performance, and Motor Vehicle Accidents. The most serious consequences of OSA relate to heart; arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke.

Dr. Fleschler and her experienced team use a Level III Medibyte portable home monitor to screen patients for Snoring, Upper Airway Resistance, and Sleep Apnea. By using K7 computerized jaw analytics to determine the best physiologic position for the jaw, whereby creating a supported airway, and fabricating a Sleep Appliance to maintain this position, she can help her patients get back to a better night's sleep. She also treats other types of Sleep Disordered Breathing such as Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome and Primary Snoring.
