Nobody feels good after a poor night of sleep. For more than 18 million Americans, this happens night after night. There is no doubt a consistent lack of sleep can lead to serious health problems. In many instances, this lack of sleep is caused by something called sleep apnea which occurs when the airway from your mouth to your lungs collapses. Dr. Tim Stirneman, Lake in the Hills dentist has helped thousands of Chicago-area patients take back control of their lives and sleep more soundly. He can help you, too. Millions of Americans have already completed a sleep study and have been prescribed a CPAP machine. This noisy, intrusive device is very often prescribed with the goal of forcing air through your mouth to keep the airway open while you sleep. It is uncomfortable at best. Unfortunately, up to 80% of people with CPAP machines do not use them as prescribed. As a result, these people continue to suffer from the debilitating impact of sleep apnea. The good news is that you do have other options. In fact, the #1 alternative to CPAP is an oral appliance. Please schedule a free, no-obligation consultation today to learn more.
