Medical Treatment for Snoring & Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Chronic loud snoring is more than a nocturnal nuisance for your bed partner—it is the cardinal warning sign of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a serious sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by repeated airway collapse and oxygen drops during sleep. Left untreated, OSA significantly elevates the risks of hypertension, heart attack, type 2 diabetes, and daytime cognitive decline.

At Lime Tree Dental Hospital, we offer custom-crafted Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD)—medically proven oral appliances that gently hold the lower jaw forward, opening restricted airway passages for sound, quiet, uninterrupted sleep.

Why Choose Oral Sleep Appliances Over CPAP Masks?

• Zero Hoses, Masks, or Machines: No noisy pumps or pressurized air blowing into your nose; sleep in any position comfortably.
• Compact & Completely Portable: Fits comfortably in your pocket or carry-on bag, requiring zero electrical outlets when traveling.
• Significantly Higher Compliance: Clinical studies demonstrate that over 85% of patients consistently wear their oral sleep splints, compared to CPAP compliance rates dropping below 50%.
• Custom Precision Occlusion: Fabricated using digital intraoral scans and bite registrations, preventing tooth drift or TMJ soreness common with cheap over-the-counter boil-and-bite mouthguards.
