[North Lauderdale, 06/08/2017] - Sleep disorders are a major problem in the United States, affecting 50 to 70 million adults. The American Sleep Apnea Association estimates 22 million people suffer from sleep apnea, with 80% of moderate to severe cases going undiagnosed.

Dental professionals understand the need to treat this disorder through non-invasive treatments. As such, orthodontics lab, Orthodenco offers its Elastic Mandibular Advancement (EMA).

Elastic Mandibular Advancement
The orthodontics lab explains that the oral appliance is patient-friendly, adjustable, and stable. Its purpose is to move the tongue forward, allowing air through the pharynx. Its straps provide varying degrees of mandibular advancement. These are available in three lengths, catering to the different needs of patients.
The EMA is one of many appliances Orthodenco offers. The company shares that it has some of the most technically experienced staff in the field. This allows the orthodontic lab to deliver quality-assured products on time to address dental-related disorders.
Orthodenco notes, “The consequences of sleeping disorders are better understood today based on newly funded research. Diabetes, heart decease, and mood disorders are just a few of the health-related conditions linked to sleep disorders.”

How Sleep Apnea Affects Productivity
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute shares that 1/3 of Americans get less than seven hours of sleep each night, making them sleepy during daylight hours. It also affects 70% of high school students, as they are also not getting enough sleep on school nights.
Patients may complain feeling “out of it” at work or at home. The condition also shows in simple acts such as forgetting meeting times and inability to concentrate on projects.
The effect of the sleep disorder takes a toll on productivity, which translates to $50 billion worth of losses.
