Sleep apnea treatment

The gentle way to sleep through without snoring again.

    Snoring affects many people’s sleep – more than half of men and around 40 per cent of women snore. Whilst usually just a disturbing noise, heavy breathing through the mouth can also be an indication of health problems: snoring reduces your oxygen intake, which is detrimental to the quality of your sleep and leaves you feeling less rested and not as productive during the day. And not only that – interrupted breathing during the night can lead to high blood pressure, strokes or heart attacks in severe cases.

    Conventional treatment methods often focus on almost complete surgical excision of the soft palate, uvula and sometimes tonsils. This procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and normally associated with an overnight stay and the usual risks of surgery for the patients. In contrast, here at INTEGRA, we employ a method which is as gentle as it is effective.

How Sleep Apnea Therapy Works at INTEGRA BIOHEALTH

At INTEGRA BIOHEALTH, we make treating sleep apnea simple, effective, and tailored just for you. Here’s how it works:

1. Personalized Diagnosis
It all starts with a consultation where we get to know you, your symptoms, and how sleep apnea is affecting your life. We use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your condition, ensuring we pinpoint the root cause of your sleep issues.


2. Customized Treatment Plan

Based on your diagnosis, we design a treatment plan tailored to your needs. For many patients, our specialized mandibular advancement devices (MADs) offer a comfortable, non-invasive solution to restore your sleep quality.


3. Fitting Your Device

Our state-of-the-art mandibular splints are customized to fit your mouth perfectly. These devices gently adjust the position of your jaw to keep your airway open, allowing you to breathe freely throughout the night.


4. Ongoing Support and Adjustments

Your journey doesn’t end with the fitting. We monitor your progress, making adjustments as needed to ensure the treatment continues to work seamlessly. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.

5. Better Sleep, Better Life
With your airway clear and your sleep restored, you’ll notice improved energy, focus, and overall health. At INTEGRA BIOHEALTH, we don’t just treat sleep apnea—we help you reclaim your quality of life.

    Why Choose INTEGRA BIOHEALTH for Sleep Apnea Treatment?

    Mandibular Splints: The Comfortable Alternative

    Unlike bulky CPAP machines, our mandibular splints are discreet, lightweight, and easy to use. They’re custom-fitted for maximum comfort, so you can sleep peacefully without feeling restricted.

    Non-Invasive and Effective

    Say goodbye to surgery and invasive procedures. Our mandibular advancement devices work by gently shifting your jaw to keep your airway open, helping you breathe naturally while you sleep.

    Better Sleep Without the Hassle

    No tubes, no masks, no noise. Our approach prioritizes your comfort and convenience, ensuring you stick with the treatment and see real results.

    Long-Term Health Benefits

    By treating sleep apnea effectively, you reduce your risk of serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, and chronic fatigue. At INTEGRA BIOHEALTH, we go beyond treatment—we’re invested in your long-term well-being.

    These Are the Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea

    Untreated sleep apnea can have serious consequences for your health and quality of life:

    • Fatigue and Daytime Sleepiness
      Interrupted sleep leaves you feeling drained, affecting your ability to focus, work, and enjoy daily activities.

    • Heart Problems
      Sleep apnea increases your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and even heart attacks.

    • Stroke Risk
      The lack of oxygen during sleep can lead to a higher risk of strokes over time.

    • Mood and Mental Health
      Poor sleep impacts your mood, causing irritability, anxiety, and even depression.

    • Reduced Quality of Life
      Untreated sleep apnea can take a toll on relationships, work performance, and overall happiness.

    Our innovative anti-snoring splints are comfortable to wear and highly effective. Once the muscles relax during sleep, the splint gently pushes the lower jaw forward, counteracting the narrowing of the airways, preventing the tongue from slipping backwards and optimising breathing through the mouth. This makes it possible to avoid snoring without any unpleasant side effects. Sleep not only does you good and recharges your batteries, it also has a beneficial effect on wound healing, your immune system and your physical and mental performance.

    • The treatment starts off with the apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) and volume being measured using an electronic bracelet comfortably at home instead of in the sleep laboratory before the results are evaluated in our practice.
    • The results are then used as the basis for producing a customised mandibular splint for you, which guarantees optimal wearing comfort during the night.
    • The measurements are repeated with the mandibular splint in order to ensure that the treatment was successful.
    • Completely painless
    • Easy to use – even when travelling
    • No surgical risks, no wounds, no pain
    • No annoying wearing of an awkward CPAP mask

    We accompany you through the whole process and are there for you as a contact partner at all times.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This happens when your airway is blocked or your brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.

    Maintain a healthy weight, avoid alcohol and sedatives before bedtime, sleep on your side, and practice good sleep hygiene. These steps can help, but professional treatment is often necessary for long-term relief.

    Common causes include obesity, enlarged tonsils, a small jaw, or a family history of the condition. Other risk factors include smoking, alcohol use, and sleeping on your back.

    • CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure): A machine that delivers a steady stream of air to keep your airway open. While effective, many people find it uncomfortable and difficult to use consistently.

    • Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs): These custom-fitted splints reposition your jaw to prevent airway collapse. They are a convenient and non-invasive option, especially for mild to moderate cases.

    • Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be recommended to remove tissue or adjust the airway structure. This option is invasive and requires recovery time.

    • Medication: While not a primary treatment, medication can sometimes be used to address underlying conditions like allergies or nasal congestion.

    At INTEGRA BIOHEALTH, we focus on mandibular splints because they offer effective relief without the discomfort of CPAP machines or the risks of surgery.

    Common symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and waking up with a dry mouth or headache.

    Stick to a consistent sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, keep your bedroom dark and quiet, and avoid screens or heavy meals before bed.

    Not necessarily. While snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea, it can also occur for other reasons like nasal congestion or sleeping position. If your snoring is loud and accompanied by gasping or choking sounds, it’s worth getting checked.

    With proper treatment, many patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms and overall quality of life. While sleep apnea may not always be "cured," effective therapy can help you manage the condition and prevent complications.
