It’s time to put your sleep apnea to rest. Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) is a non-surgical treatment option for sleep apnea and snoring. An effective CPAP alternative, an oral appliance allows individuals to experience quality, uninterrupted sleep with 95% of users reporting continued use after two years.
Sleep apnea alters your sleep patterns and metabolic processes by restricting oxygen flow to the brain and body. When left untreated, you are at an increased risk of serious health issues, including:
- High blood pressure
- Risk of heart attack
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Weight gain
- Brain and cognitive changes
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Cardiovascular disease
- Risk of stroke
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Migraine and morning headaches
- Diabetes
- Mood swings
- Anxiety
Don’t put off seeking treatment for your sleep apnea. Aside from serious health risks, tackling your sleep apnea can help eliminate daytime fatigue and have drastic positive effects on your overall mood.
