The Quality Sleep Your Deserve
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea is quite common, affects many and is potentially life threatening. In fact, it’s been associated with higher risks of strokes and heart attacks. While you sleep, an apnea occurs when breathing stops for ten seconds or more, placing significant strain on your cardiovascular system and heart. These disturbances during sleep prevent air from reaching your lungs.
Treatment Options for Snoring & Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Treatment may include oral appliance therapy, surgery or a CPAP medical unit that sits beside you during sleep, delivering continuous positive air pressure through a face mask or nasal tube attached to a pump. The CPAP requires commitment and proper adjustment to achieve maximum clinical benefits. Oral appliance therapy is a device specially designed to reposition the jaw and tongue forward during sleep, thus expanding the airway for easier flow.
