Sleep apnea

When one suffers from OSAS (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome), the upper airways are obstructed during sleep without the sleeper realizing it. This results in frequent and brief awakenings during the night. The most common symptoms are drowsiness during the day, headaches and dry mouth upon awakening, memory loss and difficulty in concentrating.

OAM is an orthosis in the form of trays that hold the lower jaw in a slightly forward position in order to free the upper airway for better airflow. At the Neuchâtel dental clinic, we recommend the Narval orthesis, which is also the reference recommended in terms of comfort by the CHUV in Lausanne.
