Over 50% of all adults do not get enough sleep. Snoring and Sleep Apnea are two leading reasons for poor sleep that leaves you tired and foggy. One out of 4 adults has sleep apnea and the chances get higher with age. If you snore, the chances of having sleep apnea are double.

Apnea is the lack of breath, which results in an acute lack of oxygen and rising levels of Carbon dioxide (the gas that carries waste out). Your brain senses the lack of oxygen and causes you to wake up in order to restart the breathing cycle.

For some people, this can happen hundreds of times each night! This means that the patient who is struggling for breath, as well as their bed partner are not getting ANY restful sleep!

The primary reason why apnea and snoring patients have to struggle for breath is that the airway in their throat collapses or gets blocked.

Because our bodies and minds depend on oxygen for growth and support, the chronic lack of it, combined with the nightly struggle and wakefulness result in many dire health consequences. Some of these are: stroke, diabetes, heart attack, heart rate abnormalities, lack of libido or impotence, elevated blood pressure, depression and anxiety, acid reflux, and others.

Going through life tired and irritable is not necessary. We are supposed to feel renewed and refreshed in the morning, not exhausted, achy and cranky. Dr. Daniela Sever is trained to recognize, assess and treat sleep disordered breathing. She can help you find relief or eliminate your problem altogether. Don't let Sleep Apnea kill you or your relationships!

If you have been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and have been prescribed a CPAP machine to wear on your face, and can't or don't want to sleep with it, there is another solution. Dr. Sever is a certified provider of the Somnomed oral device and can provide this custom-fitted, FDA approved and comfortable oral appliance. The rate of success of oral appliance therapy is excellent.

Dr. Daniela Sever has helped scores of patients regain deep sleep by using their oral device. Patients report quiet and restful nights, increased energy levels, improved outlook, cheerful attitude, weight loss, stabilization of their blood pressure, and many other healthy changes.

Dr. Sever can also provide a home sleep test to verify that the oral device is allowing you to breathe fully and sleep soundly. The home sleep test is a convenient way to record sleep and breathing and is a wireless, easy to use device. Based on your results Dr. Sever may adjust the appliance in order to provide maximum effectiveness and benefit to you. Dr. Daniela Sever will work closely with your sleep physician or your primary care doctor to ensure the best treatment.

Our preferred type of oral appliance is the Somnomed MAS. It is the most comfortable and easy to wear. It allows you to talk, drink, and move your jaw while it is in your mouth. There are other models of oral appliances available and Dr. Sever will determine the most appropriate for you.
