Auxiliary - the permanent foreign body
For the treatment of sleep apnea, you will find a whole range of treatments, aids and devices on the market. Starting with small nose clips, through protrusion splints(snoring splints) to tongue pacemakers. But what do all these aids have in common? They reduce the symptoms. The goal of medical therapy, however, should be to accurately diagnose and permanently eliminate the cause of the condition. A respirator, for example, such as a CPAP mask, which you have to use all your life just to reduce symptoms, can and should only be a temporary emergency solution.
Consequential complaints due to aids
The body must not adapt to the aid. This has been recognized in many medical specialties. For example, if you have an injury to the cervical spine, you will most likely no longer be prescribed a neck brace, as it has been found to be rather counterproductive. The neck muscles become accustomed to this supportive aid, resulting in muscle breakdown. The cause remains and you have to deal with secondary symptoms. It is the same with the hip belt for herniated discs. Orthopedists and physical therapists usually strongly advise against wearing this type of aid for more than a few hours a day, lest your body become accustomed to it.
Causal remedy for obstructive sleep apnea
A surgical procedure in which both jaws are advanced eliminates the causes of obstructive sleep apnea and thus cures sleep apnea. Nevertheless, in over 90% of cases, aids such as CPAP masks, dental splints or even tongue pacemakers are used. However, these at best reduce the symptoms, but do not eliminate them. Only the advancement of the jaws can permanently expand the necessary space in the area of the upper airway and thereby cure obstructive sleep apnea.
Reasons to use therapy for permanent cure of sleep apnea:
Permanently, sleep apnea and its causes can only be remedied and ultimately cured by surgical intervention. All devices and aids serve only to remedy the symptoms, the disease, the burden on the patient and his body remain in all its manifestations.
Your quality of life changes significantly as a result of the surgical procedure:
Wellbeing for body and mind
Vital and energetic
Vitality and energy for your day. Once we have eliminated the cause of your sleep apnea through a surgical procedure called dysgnathia, you will feel the quality of life you have gained after a very short time.
Body awareness
Permanent pain in the head and face area and tension all over the body are significantly reduced, due to improved posture of the whole body. You are relaxed.
Carefree
Look forward to a good night's sleep. Don't worry about torn nights or serious secondary diseases caused by sleep apnea anymore.

Momentum in the working day
New momentum for your workday. Your work will be more concentrated, more effective and faster.
Fitness in everyday life
Feel fresh and refreshed. Enjoy everyday life without permanently present fatigue.
Partnership
New lust for life through fulfilled sexuality. As our operated patients already know to report, loss of libido and erectile dysfunction will be a thing of the past.
Nutrition
Your body will come back into balance, your diet and the way you eat will improve all by itself. Due to the constant fatigue that your body has to fight against because of sleep apnea, on the one hand an excess of the stress hormone cortisol is produced and the release of happiness hormones is reduced, both of which lead to a greatly increased urge to eat.
Lightness
Enjoy the new ease with which you go through life without sleep apnea.
Security
Health through sleep
Bring your health back into a good balance. Consequential diseases caused by sleep apnea, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or even heart attack, can be brought back to normal through sleep apnea surgery.
Carefree
Look forward to a good night's sleep. Don't worry about torn nights or serious secondary diseases caused by sleep apnea anymore.
Material quality of life
Maintain your standard of living. Avoid the secondary diseases caused by constant fatigue (depression, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes), they can lead to occupational disability.
Self-confidence
Enjoy your new fighting spirit and assertiveness on the job, through new stamina, focus and efficiency.
Time gained
More time all around. In addition to the quality of life and lifetime gained, you also gain valuable time every day. You need less sleep at night because the body recovers more quickly, and daily cleaning of the mask and maintenance of the device are eliminated, as are annual examinations in the sleep laboratory.
Social needs
New serenity
Social interaction is made easier in every respect: your relationship with your partner is much more relaxed, you take queuing at the checkout more calmly, work stresses you only minimally. You are once again a full participant in road traffic and no longer risk microsleep at the wheel.
Sport fit
Increased resilience in leisure and sports. Keep up with your friends again when it comes to cycling or hiking or soccer match. You will breathe well and not be out of breath after a short time. Not only will your body get the oxygen it needs to breathe, but it will have a healthy supply of oxygen through sports and activity.
Performance
Full of energy: you have new energy for the workday and beyond and can meet friends, pursue your hobbies and other leisure activities.
A life in peace
Breathe well without snoring. The surgery to cure sleep apnea gives you new drive and complete integration into society. Go camping, go on a long-distance flight, spend the night with your partner in the same room again. With sleep apnea cured, you will no longer disturb anyone with loud snoring noises.
Energy until the evening
You will experience a new kind of sociability, as you can enjoy evenings with friends in a cozy atmosphere or a visit to a restaurant without daytime fatigue - even after a long day.
Social appreciation
Self-confidence
An improved image without annoying snoring sounds at night. Your background noise caused by snoring is eliminated. Personally for you eliminates the feeling of shame when, for example, you spend a night in a room with someone strange (sleeping car on the train, shared room in a mountain hut).
Be respected
Social reputation is also increased when you spend nights without snoring. People who snore are commonly considered lazy and unsuccessful in society.
Be integrated
You've probably often wondered why you can't keep up with your friends in many recreational activities (biking, hiking or soccer) and quickly find yourself out of breath. Due to the obstruction in your airways, you experience a permanent undersupply of oxygen. To finally be able to keep up with others again, you need to clear your airways.
