What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep Apnea is a condition that causes you to stop breathing while you’re sleeping. The word “apnea” comes from the Greek word for “breathless”. Sleep Apnea happens because you stop breathing in your sleep. This happens either because of blockage of your airway (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) or because your brain doesn’t correctly control your breathing (Central Apnea).

The resulting lack of oxygen activates a survival reflex that wakes you up just enough to resume breathing. While that reflex keeps you alive, it also interrupts your sleep cycle. That prevents restful sleep and can have other effects, including putting stress on your heart that can have potentially deadly consequences.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea include:

• Waking up repeatedly in the middle of the night
• Feeling tired or exhausted when waking up in the morning
• Daytime sleepiness
• Snoring
• Mood changes
• Frequent morning headaches
• Poor concentration
• Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJDs)

If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea following a thorough evaluation, we can discuss treatment options such as the Vivos® method, a well-tolerated, non-invasive alternative to C-PAP therapy that uses precision oral appliances to help you breathe and sleep better. Vivos® oral appliances are designed to reshape and expand the oral cavity (mouth). Accordingly, the airway also opens up. In turn, Vivos® patients can breathe uninterrupted and sleep well throughout the night.

Patients appreciate Vivos® treatment because:

• Vivos® Therapeutics reports the average treatment time of 18 months.
• Not a lifetime commitment – nightly wear for perpetuity is not required!
• A true treatment that gets lasting results, as it resolves the anatomical abnormalities at the heart of sleep-disordered breathing.
