New Sleep Apnea Solution?

Cosmetic dentist Dr. Sid Solomon shares an alternative to the common CPAP machine that is prescribed to millions of Americans to treat their sleep apnea. He shares that many people stop wearing their CPAP mask at night just after three weeks of wearing it. Dr. Solomon shares that they now know how your jaw needs to stay open forward to help treat sleep apnea using an elastic mandibular advancement (EMA) device that you can wear at night. Should you give this a try?

    Before sleep apnea, I had high blood pressure. Constantly getting up in the middle of the night to pee. Dry mouth, constant headache and elevated bpm. Throughout the day I’d fall sleep just sitting up right in a chair. I couldn’t focus on simple conversation. I lived miserably. I got a sleep study done. They discovered I stopped breathing every 30 seconds when sleeping. They diagnosed with SEVERE sleep apnea. 2 weeks later I got fitted for my machine and got prescribed the Resmed 11. Been using now for 8 months, change my life. Feel amazing. Blood pressure back to normal, no more headaches, no more urinating in the middle of the night. Sleep has been amazing. Feeling a new man everyday. I won’t ever sleep without mine. Fair warning, it takes time to go get use to it, but once you got it down, it won’t regret it.

    Congratulations. I know how it is. I too have severe sleep apnea and have been using CPAP for 18 years. I had Philips Respironics machines up to the safety recall. I just got a new Resmed Airsense 10. After using it for the first night, I noticed the next morning that the water in the humidifier tank was full of white fibers. You have to look really close but with a magnifying glass or zooming in with the phone I couldn't believe all the white fibers I was seeing. I've done multiple tests and experiments and am pretty sure it is the fibers from the filters. If you look at the filters up close with a magnifying glass or phone you will see the fibers fraying. Obviously I don't want to breathe in these fibers so I won't use the machine until this is resolved. Just wondering if you have seen this with your machine?

Weight gain is partially lifestyle, but lifestyle is also a result of poor sleep which affects my energy levels and appetite. Since writing my last comment, I have since seen my doctor and got new supplies. I am starting to see a difference. Thinking maybe I just needed to replace my mask. It has been a while. But, still not 100%. Doctor recommended MMA surgery if I wanted to be off of CPAP for good but that would require breaking my jaw and a very long and difficult recovery. Not going to pursue this option. I would look into other surgery like UPPP surgery but not MMA.

    Go see an oral/facial specialist or orthodontist who specializes in palate expansion. You likely have sleep apnea because you have no room for your tongue. When you sleep the tongue is forced into the back of your throat instead of on the roof of your palate where it should be. This essentially causes a restriction of your airway and makes you wake up repeatedly. Expanding your palate will help this and may cure it. This can be done with jaw surgery or an expansion device. Best of luck to you.

    Same thing happened to me! Went to a clinic and did a "at home" sleep study. Turns out i have severe obstructive sleep apnea. I had a messed up nose from childhood breaks so before trying any machines out i had surgeries. A ENT fixed my septum, opened my nasal cavity by reducing my turbanites, then i had another surgery and had my tonsils, adenoids, and uvula removed which REALLY opened up my airway. I still have apnea but its way way down. I can actually breathe ALOT better and wake up quick! Like fully mentally and physically functional in 2 min. (Its crazy cool.) Im getting a mouth piece soon because cpap isnt for me and i can still better my apnea number🤷🏼‍♂️. My recommendation for you is to get it checked. Dont let them push a cpap on you right away, look for alternatives for you. If you have apnea it will start to really screw up your health when your in your 30s and 40s unchecked. Like high heart attack risk, stroke risk, diabetes, etc. (No joke i was shocked to learn this) DON'T put this off. Your primary care physician can get you a referral to a sleep doctor. (Who can give you a referral to a ENT if you have apnea and you prefer the surgery route) At home studies are easy. It will be good to know. But I'd bet money you have the same thing i had. In the meantime please try to sleep on your side or stomach. It helps by not allowing your airway to collapse so much and will mildly improve your sleep. 🕉🙏🏻🕉

(Voice of experience ) If insurance is a real problem, which i totally understand, there are programs relatively cheap. The average cost of the At home sleep apnea test is between 150 to 200 dollars. I know its an expense however your medical bills down the road could cost thousands, even over 100k depending upon the situation. Slowed reflexes and reaction time due to extremely poor sleep can put your health and the health of others at risk. Not trying to sound negative, only stressing the importance. Please be careful.

The only drawback for me is that I have to push my jaw back in the morning so my bite is in the correct place for the day. Takes about 30 seconds after removing it. So happy to be getting better sleep .

    Yes been using it for a few months. My device is by Somnomed. It wasn’t cheap. Made custom by my dentist and I’ve verified it works with a snore app and continuous 02 monitor. Very little to no snoring now and no O2 drops like I was having before. Works well.

    ​@jztouch I can not sleep w cpap either osa causing debilitating health issues. Last option is dental appliance at dentist we have to pay out of pocket for..tried cheap molded one at ent it was horrible. How do you moniter your o2 to see if it's helped? I have a smart watch..also so you drool wearing the device and how comfortable is it on the teeth at night and do tou have to adjust it tighter on your jaw? Thank you so much if read this. My supposed mild sleep apnea is ruining my life and I have a newborn to raise so I have to figure something out. 🙏🙏🙏

    Mine is very comfortable and only took a couple nights to get used to. I use the Wellue O2 monitor ring and use the Snore Lab app after making an adjustment. My device adjusts up to 8mm. I adjusted it up to 2.5mm and found that my jaw muscles had gotten used to the forward position by morning so I was having to push it back into place. I adjusted it back to 1.5mm to help alleviate that and last night found my snoring slightly increased and I had 10 drops to 90% so overall not too bad and I’ll continue to monitor results and see if I need to adjust up again. The only downside for me is having to push my jaw back every morning so my bite is correct for the day. For me it’s worth feeling more alert during the day and knowing I’m reducing my chances of developing the negative health effects of sleep apnea. Hope that helps!

    My prothodontist told me that the orthodonture (braces) I had as a teen where they took out 4 teeth - probably to shorten the time the orthodontist had to work on my teeth - made my mouth too small for my adult tongue. He said that this would result in sleep apnea. He said sleeping on my back would make my tongue fall back and obstruct my airway while I slept. He said I should sleep on my side. He said to have my HMO diagnosis whether or not I have obstructive sleep apnea. I did the sleep test and they did diagnosis me with sleep apnea. I got a cpap device - but it seems to create more obstructive episodes than not using it. I tried the bubble suction tongue device that pulls your tongue forward while you sleep - but my tongue slips out of it as soon as I relax and start to sleep. What I need is a device that allows my jaw to come forward with my tongue that supports my tongue being forward , supports my bite and doesn’t change it. My jaw needs to come forward but the braces made my upper jaw too short. So I need something to support my upper jaw while letting my lower jaw and tongue come forward as I sleep. I’ll try this device just for grins and if it works that will be a miracle.

    I can't use a nasal pillow because the instant my mouth opens even a tiny bit all the air goes out of my mouth. I can't grasp how a nasal pillow can be used without this problem. Maybe I'm at a higher upper pressure than you are but it's a cyclone the instant my lips part even slightly, the air pressure takes the shortest route and that's directly out of my mouth, then there's nothing forcing it to go down into my lungs. How do you keep your mouth closed? At some point my jaw relaxes and then it's over. Even a strap around my jaw isn't enough. The tiniest opening in my lips and it's done.

    “50% of them (CPAP patients) quit wearing it within 1 to 3 weeks!”…You don’t say?! I’m glad to know I’m not alone! My ResMed machine is not particularly noisy. Nor is it particularly uncomfortable, but the hassle of cleaning it out, as well as the mask, EVERY DAY, is just too much! And then they came out with these CPAP, UV cleaning machines (“SoClean”,etc.) a few years ago. Long story short, upon investigation, I found out that patients STILL MUST clean their CPAP apparatus, just as before, even with using these CPAP sanitation machines, so unless a true suitable alternative to CPAP enters into play, there is no hope for us, CPAP as we know it today just does not cut it for half of us!

    When you have sleep apnea your brain gets deprived of oxygen. When the oxygen gets low enough your brain will wake you up. So usually you get up to take a piss...so when you wake up you figure it is to take a piss. I had mild sleep apnea...the first night of CPAP i woke up feeling great. The CPAP machine was great...when i stop using it I will start waking up tired...then I start wondering why...oh yeah I am not using CPAP. The drawback with CPAP it can dry out your mouth...saliva protects your teeth. I lost all of my teeth do to dry mount...make sure you get one with a humidifier attached to it.

    I'm sick of hearing the myth that "all you gotta do is lose some weight". This is not true for many people. Obstructive sleep apnea is largely a craniofacial or maxillomandibular deficiency (small underdeveloped jaw and maxilla). This is why mandibular advancement devices work to treat patients with OSA. If you have an underdeveloped jaw it really doesn't matter how much weight you lose... it won't help you. At all. MMA surgery has a ~95% CURE RATE for OSA patients but is a painful procedure that your insurance won't cover. Anyway, I have my suspicions that 'xenoestrogen' exposure is largely responsible for decreasing the size of the average human jaw over the past century.

    So you’d prefer them to not mention the fact that overweight people are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea? It’s a pretty important point. Maybe one of the only groups of sleep apnea sufferers that could be treated by exercise alone.

    Yeah it doesn't matter what type of mask, the only reason it wouldn't work is if your jaw needs more advancement than it can handle, which is quite common actually and the fact that they are custom fitted is a big problem as far as I've seen, he said they have some kind of machine to see if it'll work though so I don't know how well that works. If the symptoms are severe enough and you absolutely cannot adhere to CPAP I would also consider MMA surgery, it has an extremely high success rate although it is expensive.

    I believe that people that are using cpap should have one of these mouthpieces in also because cpap mask can push your lower jaw further back. I know a person that uses cpap and his lower jaw is now sitting further back which is making his airway smaller. Some cpap have been used on children but this is crazy because there bones are still developing and they can permanently change their face features. I actually had sleep apnea and I had a Mouthpiece made it a dentist for $800.00 Nz but I don't need it now because it strengthen my jaw muscles using it and now I don't have a problem. Cpap mask over nose and mouth are described as an orthodontic head brace that pushs your jaw back.

    They are trained to focus on the problem not the root of the problem. They talked a lot about the airway and how that mouth guard can open up the airway by move lower jaw and the tongue forward, but they don’t care why the tongue falls back and block the airway in the first place. I doubt that mouth guard is gonna work while your tongue is forced to move forward out of the palate. The lower jaw muscles will likely work against the device due to it tries to follow the tongue lead which is back into the palate. Mandible rests where the tongue is, while tongue cannot rest where the mandible is. Easy as that. I don’t know why most doctors make it so complicated.
