Good Evening ma'am, Sounds like sleep apnea. You should consult an ENT doctor. They will do a thorough examination and suggest the required investigations. The teeth thing is unlikely to cause the breathing issue.
Next Steps
Consult an ENT doctor.
Health Tips
Take steam before sleeping. Avoid taking sedative medications, alcohol before sleep.
