Dental device to help OSA sufferers | 
If you’re one of the 37 million Americans who suffer sleepless nights due to obstructive sleep apnea, you may be putting your health in great risk. Studies have shown that being able to get a good night’s rest contributes in a major way to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Florida’s Orange City Dental Care dentist Dr. Stephen Seidler says that “it is a serious problem, because when you stop breathing obviously, your oxygen level in your blood goes down, and it affects basically all the organs in your body.” If you leave your condition as it is, you may notice yourself gaining weight and then later developing cardiovascular diseases or even suffer a stroke.
Seidler goes on to explain how a small dental device, rather like a strainer, has been able to help his patients sleep better at night. He explains that the device “snaps in on the bottom and the front (of your teeth),” adding that it’s “keeping the lower jaw forward so it doesn’t allow it to fall back.”
