Brian’s Story: “My Heart Health is My Top Priority”
Brian has coronary artery disease and a previous heart attack. So, when diagnosed with severe sleep apnea increasing his cardiac risks, he diligently pursued treatment options. Though CPAP therapy was challenging with his breathing difficulties, custom oral devices proved a perfect fit.
“Thanks to my oral appliance, I’m getting the first good night’s sleep I’ve had in years,” Brian says. “My oxygen levels are vastly improved. I feel more alert and focused during the day with less fatigue dragging me down. The biggest motivator for me was lowering my chances of a future cardiac event. Now I can be confident this therapy helps safeguard my heart health long-term.”
Amanda’s Story: “I Have My Life Back”
A mother of two toddlers, Amanda struggled with exhaustion that made parenting overwhelming. She fell asleep anytime she sat down, and loud snoring kept her husband up too. After a sleep study revealed significant apnea, Amanda found oral appliance therapy improved her symptoms completely.
“I can play on the floor with my kids again without needing a nap! I have more patience and energy thanks to restful sleep instead of gasping all night,” she says. “The custom device is comfortable and easy to wear. Best of all, my husband says my loud snoring has disappeared too. He’s so thrilled we both now get a peaceful night’s sleep with this simple therapy!”
Mike’s Story: “No More Headaches!”
Mike dealt with morning headaches nearly every day upon waking – sometimes severe enough to require calling in sick from his job. He mentioned the headaches in passing during an oral appliance fitting for mild sleep apnea. After a month of consistent use, his daily headaches vanished.
“I never realized my headaches were related to breathing issues at night,” Mike explains. “But once I started therapy with the oral device, they went away almost completely. My sleep doctor said lack of oxygen can trigger headaches, and the appliance boosted my oxygen. I’m grateful to get both a good night’s sleep and be headache-free during the day!”
Megan’s Story: “I Can Concentrate Again”
A college student, Megan depended on restful sleep to have enough focus and memory for demanding classes. But she often dozed off in lectures and struggled to remember new information while feeling perpetually tired and moody. Her diagnosis of mild apnea at a young age surprised her, but addressing it quickly improved her academics.
“Oral appliance therapy has been life-changing for my ability to learn and perform well in school,” Megan says. “By upgrading to restorative sleep, I have the energy and mental clarity I need to concentrate during lectures, participate in discussions, and retain what I study. My grades, mood, and overall health have all benefited. I tell all my fellow students who feel tired constantly to get evaluated!”
