An estimated one in four Americans suffers from some level of sleep apnea—and a huge percentage of those people either don’t know they have it or aren’t properly treating it.
The result?
Millions of people across the country are not getting a good night’s sleep, harming their long-term health, and not living the life that they have the potential for. Even those who have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) struggle to find a long-term working solution that fits into their lives or works to eliminate the symptoms of this serious sleep disorder.
Those with untreated sleep apnea can suffer from an array of health issues linked with their troubled sleep. OSA has been linked with:
At Gallatin Valley Surgical Arts Center, we see firsthand what suffering from moderate to severe sleep apnea night after night can do to a person: they are deeply fatigued, unrested, and sick from related health issues. They literally spend their lives, day after day, unrested. We are here to help. Our breakthrough surgery changes the structure of your airway, allowing you to breathe free during sleep and reclaim your nights and your health.
While there are a number of non-surgical sleep apnea solutions available, and while many people with mild sleep apnea find these solutions satisfactory for their needed level of care, there are millions of diagnosed sleep apnea patients who continue to grapple with their sleep apnea despite trying all available options.
Specifically, many sleep apnea patients are prescribed a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. While a significant number of patients use and benefit from CPAP, studies show that over time, far too many patients abandon the treatment for a variety of reasons and are not compliant with CPAP usage.
Why? Some patients report that their CPAP does not give them the good night’s sleep that they were seeking. Some find it hard to sleep with the machine, or that their partners cannot sleep with the machine, or that it’s too bulky or cumbersome to maintain on a daily basis. Some find that it simply doesn’t work for them—either it does not eliminate their symptoms or it does not fit into their lifestyle.
But whatever reason that CPAP doesn’t fit into your life, you should know that there are other options—and that surgical options can have better, more permanent results, without adding a medical device to your everyday life.
At Gallatin Valley Surgical Arts Center, our surgeons specialize in bimaxillary advancement surgery, an orthognathic surgery that corrects the actual structure of the mouth and jaw in order to minimize or eliminate obstructions that cause sleep apnea.
While this is an invasive procedure compared to other types of OSA solutions, our patients come to us having exhausted other options and still suffering from exhaustion, lack of sleep, and multiple linked diseases and health issues. They leave with a one-time fix to their issue that allows them to live the rest of their lives with significant, permanent improvement or the complete elimination of sleep apnea.
We are one of the only surgical centers in the country that currently conducts this type of sleep apnea surgery—and our surgeons are experts on the subject.
