Sleep Apnea Signs | #THEBITEANGLE EP25 Dr Justin Giam hosts Dr Simona Orlej on The Bite Angle to explore how dentistry connects with sleep health. They discuss breathing, airway issues, snoring, and how dentists can help identify and manage sleep-related problems through everyday clinical assessments. ## About The Video In this episode of The Bite Angle, Dr Justin Giam welcomes Dr Simona Orlej, a dentist with expertise in sleep health, to discuss the growing link between dentistry and sleep medicine. They explain how oral structures, breathing patterns, and jaw position can influence sleep quality. The conversation highlights how dentists are often in a unique position to notice signs of sleep-related disorders during routine check-ups. Topics include airway restriction, mouth breathing, snoring, and fatigue as well as sleep apnea in pregnant women. Through clinical examples and practical explanations, the episode shows how dental care can help improve overall wellbeing by supporting healthy sleep habits. This episode explores how dental health and sleep are closely connected through airway structure, jaw position, and breathing patterns. Dr Simona Orlej explains that many patients with poor sleep quality show signs in their mouth, such as tooth wear, dry mouth, narrow arches, or restricted airways. Dr Justin discusses how routine dental examinations can reveal these warning signs early. They describe how mouth breathing, snoring, and clenching may be linked to disrupted sleep and daytime fatigue. The conversation also covers how dentists can support patients by offering screening, education, and appropriate referrals. In some cases, oral appliances or orthodontic approaches may help improve airflow during sleep. The discussion encourages patients to view sleep as part of overall oral health, not a separate issue. By recognising symptoms early and working collaboratively with healthcare providers, dentists can play an important role in improving long-term sleep quality and general wellbeing.
