Sleep Apnea Might Literally Be Killing You

Posted on by admin

cpapIf you suffer from sleep apnea, you probably know all about the CPAP. CPAP stands for Constant Positive Airway Pressure and is the term used for a rather inelegant machine that blows air down your throat to keep your airway from collapsing while you sleep. Sound miserable? It is. CPAPs, while being the gold standard for sleep apnea treatment, can be extremely uncomfortable. Most CPAP users stop wearing it within 3 months. What we end up with is a bunch of CPAPs sitting in the floor of the closet while their owners suffer with sleep apnea untreated.

There has to be a better answer, right? YES!!!! There is! We can fabricate an oral appliance that fits over the lower and upper teeth, the SomnoDent MAS™ fits like a sports mouth guard.  However, completely different than a sports mouth guard, it is a meticulously manufactured, clinically tested, medical device. In almost all cases, it is extremely effective in the prevention of snoring and treating sleep apnea in the mild to moderate category. It works without a mask or air blowing down your throat or anything like that. By advancing the lower jaw, the tongue is moved out of the back of the throat, decreasing the incidence of apnea events and snoring.
