Teen Sleep Apnea in Las Vegas: What Every Parent Should Know

Tired Teen in the House? It Might Be More Than Just "Growing Pains"

Is your teen moody, exhausted, or struggling to stay awake in school? Before blaming it on late-night texting or too much time on Fortnite, consider this: they could be suffering from undiagnosed sleep apnea.

At Snore No More Vegas, Dr. Byron Blasco helps families uncover the root cause of poor sleep in teens with home sleep testing and comfortable, non-invasive oral appliance therapy—no hospital stays, surgery, or noisy machines required.

What Is Sleep Apnea in Teenagers?

Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly pauses during sleep, disrupting oxygen flow and healthy sleep cycles. The most common type in teens is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by a blocked airway during the night.

It’s not just an adult issue—teenagers in Las Vegas are increasingly being diagnosed with this condition, often after years of poor sleep and worsening symptoms.

How to Spot the Signs of Sleep Apnea in Your Teen

Some of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea in adolescents include:

• 😴 Loud snoring

• ⏸️ Pauses in breathing during sleep

• 💤 Excessive daytime tiredness

• 💥 Frequent mood swings or irritability

• 🤯 Morning headaches

• 🎒 Trouble focusing or slipping grades

• 😨 Nightmares or night terrors

• 🔄 Tossing and turning all night long

If any of these sound familiar, it's time to look beyond the typical “teenager stuff” and explore what’s happening while they sleep.

What Causes Sleep Apnea in Las Vegas Teens?

There are several potential causes, including:

• Enlarged tonsils or adenoids

• Allergies or chronic nasal congestion

• Excess weight putting pressure on the airway

• Underdeveloped jaws or narrow airways

• Family history or genetic factors

• Environmental irritants like smoke or dust

No two cases are exactly the same, which is why an accurate diagnosis is so important.

Oral Appliance Therapy for Teen Sleep Apnea—No CPAP Needed

Once sleep apnea is diagnosed, oral appliances are a convenient, non-invasive treatment option—especially for teens.

These custom-fitted devices gently reposition the jaw or tongue to keep the airway open while sleeping. No tubes, no straps, no bulky machines.

Why Parents (and Teens) Love It:

• Comfortable and discreet

• Easy to wear and clean

• Great alternative to CPAP

• Encourages better sleep and focus

Morning Repositioners: Supporting the Bite After Appliance Use

To keep the bite properly aligned after wearing an oral appliance all night, we provide a morning repositioner—a small device your teen uses briefly in the morning to help reset their jaw position.

It’s a crucial part of treatment and ensures their smile stays healthy while they sleep better.

Why Early Sleep Apnea Treatment for Teens Matters

If left untreated, teen sleep apnea can cause:

• Poor academic performance

• Behavioral challenges

• Increased risk of high blood pressure and heart issues

• Sleep-deprived burnout

• Long-term health complications

The earlier we treat it, the easier it is to get your teen’s sleep—and life—back on track.
