DO YOU FIND YOURSELF FALLING ASLEEP ON THE JOB?

If you’re seeing a doctor for sleep apnea because you snore, fall asleep throughout the day, or have irregular breathing while you sleep, you may already be utilizing a CPAP device. By wearing a mask over your nose and mouth, this machine keeps a continual flow of air streaming into your lungs while you sleep. Although it helps control the problems associated with sleep apnea, it is bulky and exasperating to wear. As a result, many patients have stopped using it.

If you have become disenchanted with your CPAP, we have a non-bulky alternative that is simple to place and remove, packs easily for travel, cleans readily, and has a success rate in over 90% of the patients who use it. It looks like an orthodontic retainer, a small, acrylic device that slips over your upper and lower teeth. It works by readjusting your jaw and tongue to permit air to move into and out of your lungs. If you have set your CPAP machine aside, let us enlighten you to the ways this new device could help.
