April 11, 2009 - Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, or OSAS, is a type of sleep apnea in which a person stops breathing for ten or more seconds during sleep. When the body does not breathe during sleep, oxygen flow to the brain is reduced, and the brain sends a signal to the body to wake up and breathe. Some people who suffer from sleep apnea simply return to a lighter stage of sleep after one of these episodes. Others wake up completely. Over time, sleep apnea results in a lack of deep, quality sleep for those who are affected. Here comes a name VermontSleepApneaDentist.

For instance, devices may be tongue retaining device and mandibular repositioning device. Such devices keep open our airways by bringing lower jaw or tongue forward while we sleep.

Besides these important notes, one should also know that excessive uses of oral devices may adversely affect your teeth.
