Alternative to CPAP

It is estimated in the USA that 22 Million people suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
 
Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs when you are asleep and there is a blockage of the airway in the back of the throat caused by excess tissue.
 
If you have already been to a sleep physician and were prescribed a CPAP and you use it faithfully, good! Keep up the great work!
 
If you have already been to a sleep physician and were prescribed a CPAP and dislike it to the point of disuse, there are alternatives! 
At Natural Focus Dental, we are concerned not only with your dental health but your overall health.
 
Your body does not have parts that operate independently, but rather is a cohesive unit that works collaboratively.
Therefore, if one “system” is not doing well, it most likely is affecting another system.

Common sleep deprived patients notice
  • Poor performance at work
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Increased likelihood of cardiovascular disease
  • Diabetes
  • Weight gain
  • Acid Reflux/ GI issues

Our Approach

With our unique Sleep Treatment, which includes a Mandibular Advancement Device, your sleep health can be restored! The Mandibular Advancement Device is a mouth-guard type appliance that is worn intra-orally while you sleep. Compared to the CPAP, it is much more portable and comfortable.  It is custom fitted to your mouth and moves your lower jaw forward to increase the airway volume while you sleep.
​
This device combined with our laser therapy gives you your “good night’s sleep” back! We monitor the results and make sure you are comfortable and that the treatment is effective.
