Are you…
You may be suffering from sleep apnea, a condition where a person stops breathing dozens or even hundreds of times every night, often without even knowing it!
Sleep apnea does more than affect your quality of life. Left untreated it can lead to serious complications and even death.
Dr. Patel can help diagnose and treat sleep apnea with a simple DNA appliance. Contact Green Dentistry in Union Square to schedule a consultation today and learn about your sleep apnea treatment options.
The Vivos Daytime-Nighttime Appliance (also known as the DNA Appliance) is the revolutionary, non-surgical method for treating sleep apnea using a mouthguard.
This DNA oral appliance looks similar to a retainer and is fully customized to fit your mouth. This comfortable mouthguard applies gentle intermittent vibrational forces to your teeth to increase the size of your airway.
When using this method to treat sleep apnea, you may also notice other benefits, such as improvement in the alignment of your teeth and reduction of the symptoms caused by TMD.
There are numerous benefits to sleep apnea treatment, including but not limited to:
CPAP machine isn’t the right choice for everyone when it comes to sleep apnea treatment. Many patients don’t like the feeling of wearing a mask while sleeping or the sound that the CPAP machine makes during the night. If you find that a CPAP is uncomfortable, you’re less likely to be consistent with your treatment.
Our office offers a CPAP alternative for sleep apnea treatment that can be used at night, called the Vivos DNA appliance, or a sleep apnea mouth guard. Here are some exciting benefits of DNA appliances compared to CPAP therapy.
If you don’t like your CPAP, there’s another option. Contact Green Dentistry today to learn more.

The only way to rid yourself of sleep apnea is to either change the lifestyle factors contributing to the condition (obesity, smoking, etc.) and/or have surgery to remove excess tissue from your palate or throat.
