A breakthrough for sleep apnea patients

Imagine tearing off that irritating mask and turning off the noise forever.

If that sounds great, chances are you’re one of the roughly 50 percent of sleep apnea patients who simply can’t tolerate their CPAP machines.

According to experts, that works out to about 6 million people. So if you find yourself hitting the off switch in the middle of the night, you’ve got a lot of company.

But knowing you’ve got company doesn’t solve the problem.

You still know that, without help, you’re probably going to stop breathing hundreds of times a night and wake up literally gasping for air.

And you know that not only does your sleep apnea leave you exhausted during the day (and a potential menace behind the wheel), it can lead to a variety of life threatening problems like high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.

Fortunately, there’s an answer – a new technology that means you don’t have to choose between the dangers of sleep apnea and the discomfort of CPAP therapy.

Now, I can fit you with one of today’s comfortable and extremely effective FDA-approved devices that help keep airways open without the inconvenience of CPAP machines.

These individually tailored devices have a number of advantages over CPAP machines: comfortable, easy to travel with, and easy to get used to.

In fact, these small, lightweight oral devices work so well they are now considered a truly effective alternative to CPAP for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea – and for those with severe sleep apnea who can’t tolerate a CPAP machine.

We understand the demands of today’s busy lifestyles.

We know you have responsibilities to work, to be with your family or just do what you want to do!

Just let us know the best time for you to visit our office. We’re more than pleased to make an appointment that matches your schedule!

There are literally dozens of styles of oral devices, each with different advantages. My job is to find the right one for you, based on things like the severity of your apnea, the size and shape of your jaw and tongue, and whether you grind your teeth or have a condition like TMJ.

Whether you’re one of the millions of people who would love to throw away their CPAP machine or someone newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who’s looking for a treatment that really works, there may be an oral device that’s right for you.

I’ll help you choose the right device, then fit it precisely so it works effectively and gives you all the comfort you’re looking for.

I’ve been fitting patients with oral devices for years now and I love seeing the difference finally controlling their sleep apnea makes in their lives. I’m convinced that one of these oral devices will let you enjoy a good night’s sleep and will help with your snoring too.

Isn’t it time to start waking up refreshed and feeling energetic all day long?

Isn’t it time to let your partner get the sleep they deserve with no machine noise and no snoring?
