Understanding the problem

What is sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a nocturnal breathing disorder where the airways repeatedly collapse during sleep. Each breathing pause deprives the brain of oxygen, causing unconscious micro-awakenings that fragment your sleep.

The result? Chronic fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating and serious risks to your cardiovascular health, often without even knowing it.

Frequently asked questions

Vos questions, nos réponses

Does vous diagnostiquez l'sleep apnea? +
Non. The official diagnosis is made by a physician with a sleep study. Our role is to screen for signs, evaluate your airways and guide you to medical resources. If a diagnosis is confirmed, we offer treatment with an oral appliance.
L'oral appliance Panthera est-elle vraiment confortable? +
Oui. Fabriquée custom-made à partir d'un scan 3D, elle est ultra-mince, légère et remarquablement confortable. An adaptation period of 1 to 2 weeks is normal. Progressive follow-up (titration) allows adjustment of the advancement pour un confort et une efficacité optimaux.
L'oral appliance fonctionne-t-elle aussi bien que le CPAP? +
Pour l'apnée légère à modérée, les études cliniques montrent une efficacité comparable. Le taux d'observance supérieur de l'oral appliance améliore les results à long terme. Pour les cas sévères, une discussion avec votre médecin est nécessaire pour déterminer la meilleure approche.
À qui s'adresse cette consultation? +
Aux patients qui souffrent de snoring, de fatigue chronique, de bouche sèche au réveil ou qui suspectent une sleep apnea. Nous accueillons of patients de St-Eustache, Laval, Mirabel, Blainville, Montréal et les environs.
Est-ce couvert par mon assurance? +
Many insurance plans cover treatment with an oral appliance on medical prescription. Our team administrative vous fournit tous les documents nécessaires pour votre demande de remboursement. Les frais sont souvent inférieurs à ceux d'un treatment orthodontique.
How long dure l'appareil? +
With simple maintenance (daily rinsing and storing in its case), the Panthera appliance lasts 3 to 5 years. Des visites de contrôle tous les 6 mois permettent de vérifier l'usure et maintenir une efficacité optimale.
