"YOU CAN BECOME ONE OF THE THOUSANDS THAT HAVE STOPPED SNORING OR FOUND SUCCESSFUL APNEA TREATMENT WITH ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY!"
 

Latest Research Shows 60% of Recommended CPAP Patients Are Not Following Through With Their CPAP Therapy? Are you One of These Patients?

Hi, I’m Dr. Lydia Sosenko, and, YES, there is another option for you if you are one of the thousands that have been diagnosed with OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) and are struggling with even the thought of CPAP therapy. Oral Appliance Therapy (O.A.T.) may be the answer for you. Although CPAP therapy has been considered the gold standard of care and 1st line of treatment for apnea, O.A.T has now been elevated to the new standard of care by physicians for mild to moderate OSA patients or severe who can not tolerate CPAP therapy.

I hope you find the following information valuable, as I truly believe O.A.T. can save marriages as well as lives! It is our personal commitment at Dental Sleep Medicine of Illinois to raise the public awareness of Oral Appliance Therapy, a physician accepted and proven treatment for snoring and apnea, and to continue to improve the quality of lives of our patients and their loved ones.”

Snoring and Sleep Apnea

In recent years, the term sleep apnea has crept into health news by the general public. The most significant component of sleep apnea that has captured attention is its association with loud snoring, a common complaint of a bed partner. Although sleepiness and fatigue are often common symptoms of sleep apnea, recent research has linked many other health problems and consequences to sleep apnea:

 
  • Heart Attacks
  • Morning Headaches
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Devastating Fatigue-Related Motor Vehicle Accidents
    (a seven to twelve fold increase)
  • Work Accidents
  • Decreased Sex Drive

What is Apnea?

Sleep apnea, a potentially life-threatening condition, is one of the most under diagnosed sleep disorders. Sleep apnea is a treatable disorder in which a person stops breathing, often hundreds of times, during the night.

Obstructive sleep apnea (O.S.A.), the more common form of sleep apnea is associated with obstructions of airflow to the lungs during sleep due to a collapse of the upper airway at the back of the throat.

Central apnea is a less common form of sleep apnea in which the brain fails to signal the breathing muscles. Mixed sleep apnea is associated with having both central and obstructed events.

Here’s what several of Dr. Sosenko’s patients have said regarding their oral appliances for snoring and apnea.

"I was always tired. I was on a CPAP machine before the oral appliance. It is very comfortable and easy to adjust to sleeping with. I am no longer tied to a machine pumping air into my nose to open up my airway. I can sleep in any position I want. No more cold nose and no more snoozing."
Gregory

"Prior to wearing the mouthpiece I was attached to an apnea machine at night which restricted my movement to the hose. The mouthpiece has freed me from the apnea machine and allowed me to travel with a small appliance instead.”.
