I have severe obstructive sleep apnea confirmed by a sleep study showing over 40 incidents of stopped breathing per hour. I have a night guard and have crowns to replace molars that I've crunched. I was put on CPAP, and while effective, I hated it. Really hated it. My ENT physician gave me two dentist recommendations to see about a dental device as a possible option. I chose Dr. Donesky who was professional and I considered his treatment. It seemed expensive, and I was put off that the office wouldn't handle the insurance billing. I considered this for 6 weeks or so, and finally discussed this with my regular doctor. She advised me Dr. Donesky was the best at this, and I consider her an awesome doctor so I went ahead with Dr. Donesky's treatment. The appliance worked about 80% with the first fitting, and 100% after a small adjustment on the second fitting. For me, it works completely and I am delighted not to be on CPAP. I use this in place of the nightguard as it has an upper and lower and holds the jaw forward. Once I did the insurance paperwork, they covered 50% which helped (Microsoft insurance). My apnea cure, while not confirmed by a sleep study, is confirmed by my wife. Highly recommended.
