Sleep Apnea Cincinnati, OH

Do you wake up throughout the night gasping for air? Do you snore loudly?

Senior man snoring and woman covering ears sleep apnea treatment Sleep apnea is a serious medical sleep disorder that commonly goes undiagnosed. Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs when the airway becomes obstructed during sleep.  Most commonly soft tissues collapse, blocking the airway and preventing airflow from circulating. The body becomes deprived of oxygen and patients frequently suffer from a lack of sleep.

Snoring and mild Sleep Apnea can be improved or eliminated with portable & easy to use Dental Appliances.

Dr. Marvin Kaplan coordinates Sleep Apnea treatment and provides oral sleep appliance therapy to help you sleep and breathe better. In coordination with your medical doctor, Dr. Kaplan creates a custom oral sleep appliance that fits comfortably and works effectively to keep your airway open while you sleep. Oral sleep appliances have a higher compliance rate in comparison to a CPAP machine. The device is discreet and comfortable to wear.
