Charlotte Sleep Solutions Opens in University City | News

Charlotte Sleep Solutions (CSS) had its grand opening on February 20th. Charlotte Sleep Solutions is a sleep health treatment organization that aims to treat sleep-related disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea without surgery.

CSS Physician Dr. Stella Nnadi began treating sleep disorders five years ago after training at the American Academy of Dental and Sleep Medicine and the International Sleep Society. In these five years she has treated over 200 patients at the dental practice before she decided to open her CSS.

CSS currently has six staff and can treat five patients at a time. The facility treats both children and adults and participates in research.

Operations Manager David Nnadi said:

In order to receive treatment, CSS requires that patients have home sleep study tests, as symptoms may become apparent in the environment in which they sleep each night. A recent sleep study is required for treatment. The patient must also complete a New Sleep Patient Form.

There are three treatments, depending on the patient’s sleep disorder. He has two types of sleep apnea. A Vivo device similar to a guidance system and a mandibular advancement device customized to each patient’s needs. For snoring, one option is to use the Vivo Guidance System snoring device.

according to CSS websitethe Vivos system device consists of a retainer-type item that is inserted into the mouth before bedtime, allowing the palate to expand naturally over time. Designed to keep you undisturbed while you sleep.

“I always knew that treating sleep-disordered breathing, like sleep apnea, was my calling because I wanted to learn new and better ways to improve the lives of others through my technology. Because I want to,” said Nnadi. “I realized that there is a solution to a problem that millions of Americans are suffering from.”

According to the American Psychiatric Association, more than 50 million American adults suffer from sleep disorders, and approximately 15-20% of these adults report sleep apnea or interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions are characterized by snoring, shortness of breath, or respiratory arrest.
