Sound Sleep Begins Here
Do You or a Loved One Lose Sleep Over Sleep Apnea?
Nearly 22 million people across America are suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This is a chronic condition where the individual can stop breathing hundreds of times over the course of the night. Symptoms of sleep apnea include snoring, waking up choking, out of breath, restless sleep, morning headaches, fatigue, and difficulty staying asleep.
Sleep apnea doesn’t just interfere with you and your partner’s ability to get a good night’s rest. When left untreated, sleep apnea increases your risk for a variety of negative health consequences, including strokes, heart disease, depression, weight gain, insomnia, type 2 diabetes, mood swings, and potential liver problems.
Get the Right Diagnosis
At Sleep Remedy Cincinnati, we work with local care physicians and dentists to help properly diagnose your condition. You’ll undergo an official screening and sleep study overnight to determine your individual condition. We can also offer you an at-home sleep study if you feel you’d be more comfortable in a personal setting.
Are You Frustrated With Your CPAP Machine?
The most common treatment for sleep apnea is the CPAP machine, which has provided positive results for a number of patients.
However, CPAP Therapy isn’t right for everyone. Many people have discontinued CPAP because it restricts their freedom and makes sleeping difficult.
In contrast to CPAP, an oral appliance is a convenient solution for snoring and sleep apnea that won’t hamper your freedom. We feature oral appliances that are effective in many cases for treating patients with mild-to-moderate sleep apnea. The appliance works by slightly shifting the position of your jaw to keep the airway open while you sleep.
Our patients really appreciate how easy it is to use their oral appliance. It’s so small you can take it anywhere. And unlike CPAP, oral appliances are quiet and they don’t require a power source, so you can use them anywhere.
Oral Appliance Therapy
Oral Appliance Therapy is an effective treatment option for snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). A custom-fit oral sleep appliance fits like a mouthguard and can improve your sleep, restore your alertness and revitalize your health.
Sleep Remedy Cincinnati offers a variety of FDA approved appliances, that when worn during sleep, reposition your jaw and tongue to open your airway. This non-invasive therapy is the main alternative to CPAP therapy and can fit easily into your lifestyle due to its comfort, ease of wear, and portability. There are many different oral sleep appliances and Dr. Julie Vilardo will customize a treatment plan and appliance for your optimal therapy.
