Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)

Do you have a snoring problem?

You might be suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) occurs when breathing stops involuntarily for brief periods of time during sleep. This condition is seen in all age groups, but the frequency increases with age and obesity.

Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) For Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a great solution to those patients suffering from the effects of loud snoring and sleep apnea. Deep snoring and sleep apnea are more common among men than women.

Oral appliance therapy is offered by Dr. Maria Yazji at her offices in Weston, Brickell, and West Miami. Dr. Maria Yazji will create a custom-fit oral appliance to help you improve your sleep quality, restore your alertness, and revitalize your health. This appliance is worn only during sleep, it fits just like a sports mouthguard or an orthodontic retainer. It supports the jaw in a forward position to help maintain an open upper airway. Research shows that oral appliance therapy is an effective treatment option for snoring and OSA. The main goal of OAT treatment is to help you breathe normally during sleep.

CPAP or continuous positive airway pressure is the best method to overcome the same problem. But sometimes, it creates problems related to noise disturbance, face irritation, headaches, and even claustrophobia while wearing the mask. That’s why patients turn to oral appliance therapy. Oral appliance therapy is covered by many medical insurance plans.

Advantages of oral appliance therapy:

Easy to wear

Comfortable

Portable

Quiet

Easy to care for
