A
pnea Alternatives, in Ann
Arbor, offers oral
appliance therapy
for sleep apnea
patients who are
unable or unwilling to use their

cases of sleep apnea respond very well to the therapy.
Sleep apnea is a disorder that can contribute to many
life-threatening illnesses and a deteriorated quality of
life. Apnea and snoring can result in altered sleep patterns and inhibit the ability to perform normally throughout the day.
Untreated sleep apnea can also lead

as high blood pressure, heart attack,
stroke, weight gain, migraine headaches, diabetes, depression, anxiety
and mood swings; snoring can also be
a nuisance to a bed partner.
