Struggling with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS), Snoring, and/or Poor Sleep?
Sleep apnea, specifically obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing caused by soft tissue obstructions during sleep leading to disrupted sleep patterns and reduced oxygen intake. Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) is a related condition involving hypopnea and restricted breathing causing a number of health issues including fatigue, snoring, cognitive issues, ADHD symptoms, and more.
At Reclaim Integrative Dentistry, we collaborate with ENTs, sleep physicians, osteopaths, and other specialists and play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing these conditions by providing sleep and breathing-related diagnostics and treatments. We provide comprehensive airway-focused assessments for accurate diagnosing of the root cause and severity of airway issues, as well as a wide variety of treatment options, so that a treatment matches the severity of the issue in a minimally-invasive, effective, and comfortable way to produce the best, most predictable outcomes.
