Snoring and Sleep Apnea Therapy
Snoring, along with daytime sleepiness, mental confusion, and irritability are symptoms of a potentially dangerous condition called sleep apnea. Many sleep apnea suffers aren't aware that they have this disorder. Left untreated, sleep apnea will only persist and may increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious health complications.
Dr. Michel uses the patented Oasys Sleep Snoring Device to alleviate snoring and sleep apnea and return healthy, restful slumber. If you suspect that have sleep apnea, or if you've been told that you snore, we encourage you to learn more about the benefits of snoring/sleep appliance therapy from Michel Dental.
What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is defined as repeated lapses in breathing that last ten seconds or longer. During slumber, tissues relax and can obstruct airways, and the tongue may drift back and block the throat. These occurrences trigger apnea episodes. Snoring may also occur as breathing becomes strained and air tries to force its way through narrowed passageways.
How does the Oasys Sleep Snoring Device work?
This FDA-approved snoring/sleep appliance combats snoring and sleep apnea in two ways:
- It repositions the lower jaw to open passageways and encourage optimal airflow, thus eliminating apnea episodes.
- Nasal passages are dilated to decrease airflow resistance and inhibit snoring.
If you're diagnosed with sleep apnea, Dr. Michel will design your custom snoring/sleep appliance specifically for your unique needs. You'll wear it while you sleep and enjoy the benefits of restful slumber. Learn more about the revolutionary Oasys Sleep Snoring Device on their website. You deserve a good night's sleep. Let the Michel Dental team help you achieve it.
