SLEEP & SNORE APPLIANCES

About 25% of men and nearly 10% of women have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious sleep disorder characterized by loud snores, grunts, and gasps. Tissue at the back of the throat temporarily obstructs the airway, leading to breathing pauses (apneas) throughout the night. Not only does OSA leave people tired and groggy, but it also puts them at risk for a host of health problems, including high blood pressure, depression, and heart disease. 

 

The most effective and best-studied treatment is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a small bedside machine that blows air through a mask to prevent your airway from collapsing. But people with mild or moderate OSA sometimes find CPAP challenging to use, in which case you and your medical doctor may decide that an Oral Sleep Appliance is the best fit.

 

ADVANTAGES OF ORAL SLEEP APPLIANCE THERAPY 

Oral appliance therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment that fits easily into your lifestyle. Patients like oral appliance therapy because it is: 

  • Easy to wear 

  • Quiet 

  • Portable 

  • Convenient
