Sleep apnea can
take over your life and turn it upside down. Dr. Anna Lee and her team are able
to evaluate your needs and provide you with options in order to reduce the
negative impact of your sleep apnea on your life. Individuals who struggle with
sleep apnea can wake up hundreds of times a night in order to gasp for breath.
Once they have the air they need, the body attempts to fall back to sleep only
being woken a few minutes later gasping for another breath of air. This
disruption in rem sleep can cause people to feel they are never getting the
restful sleep needed to fully function at their best. There are multiple
benefits of oral appliance therapy that can help to fix sleep apnea so you can
rest easy.

Ease
of use - Some patients prefer oral appliances because they can be easy to wear.
For most patients it takes just a few short weeks to get used to sleeping with
an oral appliance in their mouth.
· Small and easy to transport for travel-Unlike CPAP,
oral appliances are small enough to fit in the purse or carry-on bag.
*Oral Appliance

and damage or permanent change in position of the jaw, teeth and mouth.
