The Dangers of OSA and What You Can Do

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious health condition that affects millions of people around the globe. It is a potentially life-threatening disorder that can cause major health complications and even death. At Alfi Oral Surgery, we understand the dangers associated with OSA, and the amazing results that can be achieved with the right treatment.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that is caused by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. This can significantly limit oxygen intake and cause numerous health complications that can range from daytime sleepiness to heart failure, stroke, and death. Because of the severity of these complications, it is imperative that OSA is treated immediately.

At Alfi Oral Surgery, we offer custom orthognathic surgery and double jaw surgery to correct OSA. Orthognathic surgery works by repositioning the lower jaw, tongue, hyoid bone, and other structures to improve airflow during sleep. Double jaw surgery is used to increase the size of the airway passage and create more space for air to flow. Both of these treatments can provide fast and amazing results, which can significantly improve sleep quality and reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea.

It is important to note that surgery is not the only OSA treatment option. Depending on the individual’s specific needs, other treatments such as CPAP, lifestyle changes, and medications may be recommended. However, if surgery is the best option, Alfi Oral Surgery is experienced in offering this effective and amazing solution.
