If you are frequently tired during the day or often wake feeling unrested, a sleep test may be necessary to determine your risk of Obstructed Sleep Apnea (OSA).
By administering an overnight sleep test at home or in the sleep lab, doctors (MDs) are able to determine if sleep apnea is disturbing your sleep at night. In addition, they can diagnose the severity level and suggest a course of treatment to correct your nightly breathing disturbances, including Oral Appliance Therapy(OAT)
Chronic OSA is associated with a multitude of medical comorbidities, such as HBP, heart disease, afib, stroke, diabetes and TMD, just to list a few.
While CPAP therapy is the gold standard for treating moderate to severe sleep apnea, a large number of patients find the equipment cumbersome and disturbing due to the noise of the machine. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate course of treatment depending on how severe your OSA is. A custom oral appliance (MAD) is often a good alternative to CPAP to reduce the apnea events.
