Sleep Airway Solutions

Sleep Airway Solutions, located at 850 Marsh St, Valparaiso, IN, is a dedicated clinic focused on providing effective solutions for individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. The practice is led by Dr. Michael J. Uzelac, D.D.S., D. ABDSM, who has been offering general and sleep dentistry care in Valparaiso since 1982. The core of their treatment philosophy revolves around custom-fit oral appliance therapy. These devices, similar to sports mouthguards or orthodontic retainers, are worn only during sleep and work by supporting the jaw in a forward position to maintain an open upper airway, preventing it from collapsing and blocking airflow. Sleep Airway Solutions emphasizes the comfort, ease of use, portability, and quiet nature of oral appliances as significant advantages over CPAP machines, especially for patients who find CPAP therapy difficult to tolerate or non-compliant. They work in conjunction with patients' sleep physicians to identify and custom-fit the most appropriate oral appliance device. In addition to oral appliance therapy, Sleep Airway Solutions also addresses snoring as a significant symptom of potential sleep issues. They offer consultations and diagnostic assessments to determine the underlying cause of snoring and provide tailored treatment plans. The clinic aims to improve overall health and quality of life for their patients by alleviating the symptoms and risks associated with sleep apnea, such as daytime sleepiness, impaired concentration, and reduced quality of life. The clinic has received positive reviews from patients who appreciate the professional and supportive team, as well as the effectiveness of the oral appliances in improving their sleep.
