Patients suffering from breathing pauses during sleep can elicit help from their dentist. Therapeutic oral appliances suggested by dentists can reduce or alleviate snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The new patient website optisleep.com now conveniently gives information to patients and explains sleep apnea treatment to affected individuals and their families.

The patient website optisleep.com has a clear, simple layout and provides relevant information with just a few click.

Bonn. Patients who consult a dentist for snoring or sleep apnea treatment with the use of an oral appliance often have many questions. Partners and family members of those affected often suffer from the individual's problems as well and are interested in the diagnosis and treatment options. The new patient website optisleep.com, from SICAT in Bonn, now complements the consultation with a dentist. The well-designed site clearly explains what obstructive sleep apnea is, what treatment options are available and how the oral appliance OPTISLEEP works.

Individuals who are unsure of whether their sleep disorder may require treatment can take a self-test on the patient website. The website provides an overview with answers to FAQs about this condition and explains the treatment with OPTISLEEP. A practical search function quickly finds the nearest dental practice that offers computer-aided diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.

OPTISLEEP is a comfortable solution for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea. Thanks to its slim design, the two-part appliance is very comfortable and ensures patient compliance. The customized appliance-based treatment is based on data from SICAT Air, a software program that allows the upper airways to be analyzed using a 3D image and digitally maps the complete workflow of appliance-based treatment. The Dentsply Sirona GALILEOS and ORTHOPHOS SL imaging devices and the integrated workflow in SIDEXIS 4 optimally explain and illustrate treatment planning to patients.
