ASA offers direct access to patients who desire sleep apnea oral appliance and dental device and snoring mouthpieces. ASA also offers CPAP, CPAP supplies.

Patients are connected to a network of affiliated professionals who can offer treatment.

Sleep apnea oral appliances work by moving the lower jaw forward relative to the upper jaw. This maximizes the air passage space reducing or eliminating sleep apnea and snoring.

It is estimated that 50% of adults snores. Approximately 4 – 20% of adults have some degree of sleep disordered breathing which includes obstructive sleep apnea. Most are undiagnosed. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder which affects breathing during sleep. Untreated obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, dangerous heart arrhythmias, and mood disorders.
