If you have sleep apnea, wake up frequently during the night or snore loudly, you are not getting a restful night’s sleep. Unfortunately, lack of a good night’s sleep can affect every aspect of your life. In fact, bed partners of heavy snorers suffer greatly from lack of sleep and can also be excessively tired during the day.
Sleep Apnea is a Life-Threatening Condition
People with sleep apnea have an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and weight gain. Many individuals ALWAYS FEEL TIRED, they suffer from daytime sleepiness that contributes to brain fog, lack of concentration, irritability, and an increased risk of accidents. Patients with untreated sleep apnea have a shorter life span (about 8-10 years) than those who successfully seek treatment for their sleep issues.
In the past, a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine was the only treatment for sleep apnea. It was cumbersome, uncomfortable, and challenging to use. The mask was confining and claustrophobic, and many people gave up using it after a few weeks.
Oral appliance therapy is an excellent alternative for treating obstructive sleep apnea. You can wear it instead of your CPAP or in conjunction with it to lower the pressure settings! It is comfortable, practical, quiet, and virtually unnoticeable by others once you place it in your mouth. Our state of the art oral appliances are custom crafted specifically to each patient for a precision fit, addressing their unique needs and conditions.
The Benefits of Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea
- Comfortable: No more masks or having to sleep on your back.
- Non-Invasive: No surgery is needed.
- Discreet: No bulky machinery or tubes and no sound. The mouthpiece is stored in its case during the day.
- Convenient: It’s easy to tuck in your bag for traveling.
- Non-irritating: CPAP masks can cause contact dermatitis and dry, irritated sinuses. These are avoided with an oral appliance.
- Sleep: You will finally be able to rest.
