About Sleep Better Philly:
Specializing in Treating Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. This condition is characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep and can have significant health implications if left untreated.
Obstructive sleep apnea, the most prevalent form, occurs when the upper airway becomes blocked by soft tissue, leading to interruptions in breathing. People with sleep apnea often experience symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, and restless leg syndrome.
At Sleep Better Philly, we understand the impact of sleep apnea on your overall well-being. That’s why we offer treatment options to improve sleep quality and prevent associated health complications.

Our Approach to Sleep Apnea Treatment
At Sleep Better Philly, we prioritize accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. Our home sleep test kits enable patients to monitor their sleep from the comfort of their own homes. These tests help us diagnose sleep apnea, a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep.
If left untreated, sleep apnea can have serious consequences for your health, including an increased risk of heart disease and cardiovascular disease. That’s why early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
How Do We Diagnose Sleep Apnea?
Our sleep specialists analyze the results of overnight sleep studies to determine the severity of sleep apnea. These studies monitor factors such as breathing patterns, heart rate, and movements during sleep. Based on the severity, our team develops personalized treatment plans.
What Sleep Apnea Treatment Do We Offer?
Oral appliance therapy is a viable option for individuals struggling with sleep apnea, particularly those who find difficulty in adjusting to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy or prefer a non-invasive approach. This sleep apnea treatment involves the utilization of a custom-fitted mouthguard designed to keep the airway unblocked and enhance airflow during sleep.
The mechanism allows the oral appliance to reposition the lower jaw and tongue. This assists in preventing possible obstructions that can interrupt sleep, making it an effective measure against sleep apnea.
