Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
It has been estimated that as many as 40% of the US adult population suffer from some form of Sleep Disorder.
Sleep disorders can range from mild snoring to more serious obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Sleep disorders can lead to serious health problems for the snorer, spouse, or other family members whose sleep may be disrupted.
Some common health problems associated with sleep disorders and sleep deprivation include daytime fatigue, increased blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, anxiety/depression, increased risk of vehicle accident (3-10X), and reduced quality of life.
Oral appliance therapy is a great solution for patients suffering from the effects of snoring and sleep apnea.
For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, a dental device can be worn to hold the lower jaw in a more forward position. By maintaining this forward position throughout the night while wearing the device the airway is kept open during sleep, and patients can breathe freely and be oxygenated. Oral appliances are so comfortable; they have no noise or fuss and no bulky equipment to sleep with at night.
