Sleep Apnea

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a common yet serious sleep disorder that occurs when the airway is blocked during sleep, often by the tongue or other soft tissues in the throat. This blockage can cause multiple interruptions in breathing throughout the night, leading to poor sleep quality and various health risks such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.

Our Approach to Treating Sleep Apnea and Snoring

At Le Denté Clinic, Dr. Rashida, an American Board-certified Dental Sleep Apnea Specialist from TUFTS University USA, leads our treatment of sleep apnea using the latest technologies and a personalized approach. We offer several effective treatments:

Custom Oral Appliances

These devices are designed to keep the airway open by positioning the lower jaw forward, improving breathing and enhancing sleep quality.

Comprehensive Diagnostics

Utilizing advanced diagnostic tools like electromyography and joint vibration analysis, we evaluate jaw positioning and muscle function to tailor treatments effectively.

Polysomnogram and Home Sleep Testing

For a thorough assessment of sleep apnea severity, we provide options for both in-lab overnight sleep studies and convenient at-home testing, depending on the individual's needs and condition severity.

Symptoms and Warning Signs of Sleep Apnea
