I was tired quite often. I snored ALL the time. I
could also drop off sleeping on a dime. I could be in mid
conversation and I would fall asleep. At one point in time I
fell asleep at a dinner table without even having a drink.

For years I was prescribed several prescriptions
for various conditions and one day I saw my primary care doctor
and I was exhausted. He wanted to give me medication for
depression. I wouldn't take it so he suspected sleep apnea and I
had a sleep study. The appliance has been a great benefit to me.
I wish that I had discovered this treatment in my teens.

Over the last 5 years the snoring has evolved to
critical mass and my wife often goes into another room. I was
waking up 30 times an hour. It can really affect everybody's
health.

I couldn't believe that I had been suffering like
this for years when you don't have to. Before my mouth guard I
would wake up with dreadful headaches in the morning. It would
impact my workplace and now I can think. The oral appliance is
like Windex for the brain.

I had severe sleep apnea. I tried CPAP for about
6 weeks and couldn't tolerate it. Shortly after stopping it I
had a heart attack. My doctor at Mass General said I had to do
something and he referred me to Dr Rosen for an oral appliance.
Sam
My wife noticed that I stopped breathing during
the night. I went for a sleep study 20 years ago and it took me
15 years to do anything about it. I tried CPAP but it was
too much maintenance. The oral appliance seemed like an elegant
solution. Being an engineer I appreciate simplicity. I regret
waiting so long to get something done. I now wake up refreshed;
I can sit through meetings and don't doze while I drive.
Peter
Coming into Dr. Rosen's office I noticed from the
very beginning everybody in the office was professional and they
knew their stuff. He had the experience from looking at many
different mouths and many different throats to know that this
appliance was one that was appropriate for this one. We did a
follow-up sleep study and the sleep apnea was controlled to the
same degree with the appliance as it had been with the CPAP
machine.
Donna
I felt like I didn't sleep at all. My memory was
bad and I couldn't focus at all. I had severe sleep apnea. I had
trouble using CPAP. The appliance was like complete freedom. My
husband was relieved, too, and we're both sleeping well now.
