NightLase In Coral Springs
Millions of people in the U.S. struggle with sleep apnea and snoring. If you're among them, oral appliance therapy could provide some relief. But there’s another option worth considering. NightLase laser therapy is a remarkable, non-invasive treatment designed to gently open up the airway, helping to reduce snoring and minimize breathing interruptions. Explore this cutting-edge sleep apnea solution available in Coral Springs to learn more.
How Does NightLase Work?
NightLase uses advanced laser technology to stimulate collagen contraction in the tissues of the upper airway. Put simply, this process helps tighten the tissues, making them less likely to relax too much during sleep—reducing the risk of snoring and sleep apnea episodes.
What Happens During the Treatment?
If Dr. Saba Rizvi, your sleep dentist in Coral Springs, determines that you're a good candidate for NightLase, you can look forward to a smooth and comfortable treatment experience. During the procedure, you might feel a warm, tingling sensation in your throat—much like a gentle spray of warm mist.
There’s no downtime required after the session, and most patients experience no side effects. Occasionally, a mild sore throat may occur. Many patients notice improvements right after their first NightLase treatment, though Dr. Saba Rizvi may suggest multiple sessions to ensure the best possible results.
What Results Can I Expect from NightLase?
Please remember the following important points about the NightLase treatment:
The results of NightLase typically last for several months to a year, and in some cases, even longer. If your partner begins to notice your snoring returning or getting worse, it might be a good time to schedule a follow-up NightLase session with Dr. Rizvi.
While NightLase can significantly reduce snoring and over half of patients report better sleep quality, it’s not a full replacement for traditional sleep apnea treatments. For the best results, especially in managing sleep apnea, you may still need to use an oral appliance alongside NightLase.
Ongoing monitoring is key. If you have sleep apnea, regularly evaluating your sleep quality is essential. Stay in touch with our team so we can help you maintain the most restful and healthy sleep possible!
Who Is a Candidate for NightLase?
Most individuals dealing with snoring or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are potential candidates for NightLase treatment. It can be especially beneficial for those who were previously recommended a CPAP instead of an oral appliance due to the severity of their OSA. In some cases, NightLase may reduce the severity enough to make oral appliance therapy a viable option.
However, eligibility for NightLase depends on the underlying anatomical factors contributing to your sleep apnea. While the treatment effectively firms the tissues in the throat, it may not be as effective if a large tongue is the primary cause of your breathing issues. Dr. Saba Rizvi will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your mouth to determine the most suitable treatment for your unique needs.
