Dr. James C. Ro...: My vision for The Sleep Apnea Center of Novi was just to create an area where people that were intolerant to CPAPs had a place to go where we could help them. Many people don't even know that they need help. There are close to 80 million cases across the United States that are undiagnosed with sleep apnea, where they have symptoms, but they don't know it. It's just a passion of mine to try to help as many people as I can now that might not even know they have sleep apnea
Speaker 2: Dr. Ross is just a great dentist, and I like that he's always looking forward, that he is willing to do a sleep apnea appliance for clients as an option is a relief.
Speaker 3: I was fortunate enough that this in fact worked for me. The most important thing is that I'm not stopping my sleep or stopping my breathing in the middle of the night for 45 seconds or some longer than normal period of time.
Speaker 4: Dr. Ross has been very attentive with adjustments that my husband's required and getting it set just right, so that it was working. Now that he's sleeping through the night, guess what? I'm sleeping through the night. I'm not waking up at two o'clock and three o'clock in the morning. We're both waking up feeling much better.
Speaker 5: It just was an easy process. They just made it so easy and understandable. I do not wake up with dry mouth anymore. I don't wake up gasping for breath and I overall just have a better night's sleep.
Common Questions From Our Patients
94% of snorers have mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Snoring is a common symptom, and it’s the reason many of our patients come to see us. They’re usually encouraged to do so by a member of their household who is kept awake by the noise. If you do snore, you should be tested with a convenient home sleep test to determine if you have sleep apnea and to what extent. Snoring accompanied by gasping or snorting is more likely to be associated with apnea. An oral appliance will stop your snoring, whether you have sleep apnea or not.
Both treat mild, moderate, and severe cases by keeping your airway open while you sleep. It is advised with severe cases to try CPAP first if you can since it is usually more effective with these cases. Unfortunately, many patients have difficulties adapting to CPAP treatment. The best treatment is the one you will actually use consistently.
In contrast, the oral appliance is a small, comfortable device that gently moves your lower jaw and tongue forward which physically opens your airway.
Most patients find the oral appliance, which resembles a small retainer, less invasive than a CPAP. Without a mask, tubing, or noise from a machine, it’s easier to adjust to wearing the appliance. It’s also less noticeable to your bed partner. In addition, an appliance is easy to take with you anywhere you go. You never need to worry about batteries or electricity. However, not all patients are suited for an appliance. Dr. Ross and his team will help you decide what will work best for you.
