CPAP
Struggling With CPAP? Jaeger Orthodontics Offers a Better Way to Treat Sleep Apnea
If you’ve been prescribed a CPAP machine but can’t tolerate it, you’re not alone. Studies show that nearly 50% of CPAP users don’t use it consistently, leaving them vulnerable to serious health risks. Fortunately, there is an effective alternative: customized oral appliance therapy.
At Jaeger Orthodontics, we specialize in non-invasive, comfortable solutions for sleep apnea. Using advanced ultrasound mapping, we analyze your airway structure and precisely calibrate oral appliances to keep your airway open while you sleep—without the discomfort and hassle of CPAP.
Are You at Risk?
If you answer YES to just ONE of these questions, untreated sleep apnea could be impacting your health and shortening your lifespan:
- Do you suffer from high blood pressure?
- Do you have diabetes?
- Does anyone say you snore?
- Do you ever wake up choking or gasping for air?
- Has anyone told you that you stop breathing at night?
- Do you wake up with headaches or feel excessively tired during the day?
Better Sleep, Better Life
Treating sleep apnea can:
- Extend your lifespan by reducing risks of heart disease and stroke.
- Enhance your mental well-being by alleviating depression and anxiety.
- Strengthen your relationships by eliminating snoring and improving sleep quality for you and your partner.
- Boost your energy levels so you wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.
The Truth About Snoring
Snoring isn’t just annoying—it’s often a sign of a serious sleep disorder. Studies show that 7 out of 10 snorers suffer from underlying sleep apnea. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic fatigue, memory issues, and even higher divorce rates due to sleep disruption.
If your snoring is keeping your partner awake, or if you wake up feeling unrefreshed, it’s time to explore a solution.
