Oral devices, such as the Prosomnus, are used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in mild to moderate cases. These devices work by repositioning the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep. They are a more comfortable alternative to CPAP therapy for people who cannot tolerate a CPAP mask. The Prosomnus device is custom-fitted to the individual’s mouth, providing a personalized solution for sleep apnea.
Who Is the Best Candidate?
- People with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
- Those who find CPAP therapy uncomfortable or ineffective.
- Individuals who prefer a more portable and less invasive treatment option.
Recovery Time
- Swelling and bruising are typical and last 1-2 weeks.
- Most patients return to daily activities after 7-10 days.
- Final results are visible after 6-8 weeks as the swelling subsides and the fat transfer settles.
