  3. What is Sleep Apnea? • Visit your dentist or doctor. A sleep study is conducted to record your sleep patterns using a special device and gather sleep data for diagnosis of Sleep Apnea and other Sleep Disorders. • The word apnea means “without breath” in Greek. Sleep Apnea is when you involuntarily stop breathing during sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night. What to do if you have Sleep Apnea?

  4. Those who suffer from sleep apnea are at risk for several other health related issues.

  5. CPAP • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a device that delivers oxygen by way of positive airway pressure through a nasal, oral or oronasal interface during sleep. • A pressurized mask is worn over the nose and/or mouth, and it is attached to a small pump which forces air into the airway.

  6. OAT- Oral Appliance Therapy • Creates an anterior movement of the suprahyoid and genioglossus muscles • Decreases the gravitational effect of the tongue • Stretch the soft palate • Stabilizes the mandible to the hyoid bone • Opens the airway and allows for smoother breathing. Thus reducing or eliminating the snoring! • OAT treatment has proven results that improve the quality of your sleep and life !

  7. Alternative Treatment Option - OAT Disadvantages of CPAP • Low compliance (Patients are not using CPAP on a regular basis) • Not easy to travel with • Socially challenging • Needs power source • Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) • OAT prevents the collapse of the tongue and soft tissues in the back of the throat by keeping the jaw supported in a forward position. This keeps the airway open during sleep. • This therapy option is recommended for certain patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
