Eliminate Your CPAP......
Consult Dr. Braga About An Oral Appliance
Here's what Dr. Oz had to Say in Parade Magazine January 22, 2012:
"See a Sleep Apnea Dentist. Snorers as well as Sleep Apnea patients may benefit from an oral appliance—a small plastic device worn during sleep to help prevent the soft palate from collapsing. Even if you don’t have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, controlling snoring is important; a recent study showed that snoring more than doubles your risk of developing metabolic syndrome, one of the major predictors of future cardiovascular disease. Interrupted sleep, often a result of loud snoring, increases this risk even further".
What is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common problem that can affect your sleep and health plus have significant impact on your quality of life. Often snoring is a symptom of OSA, caused by changes in your upper airway while you sleep. Your airway may narrow, limiting airflow as you breathe. Your soft tissue may vibrate (this is commonly known as snoring), or it may completely collapse, causing you to stop breathing. Collapsing of the soft tissue is called an Obstructive Apnea, and may last for 10 seconds or more.
