eXciteOSA®

If you snore or have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and are looking for an alternative to CPAP or surgery, eXciteOSA® offers a groundbreaking non-invasive option that works during the day — so you can sleep more comfortably at night.

At The Center for Sinus, Allergy, & Sleep Wellness, Dr. David C. Brodner offers eXciteOSA® as part of a comprehensive sleep wellness program for patients in Boynton Beach, FL and throughout South Florida. Call (561) 735-8750 to find out if eXciteOSA® is appropriate for you.

eXciteOSA® is a prescription-only, FDA-cleared daytime therapy device designed to reduce snoring and treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Unlike CPAP machines or oral appliances that must be worn during sleep, eXciteOSA® is used for just 20 minutes during the day — while you are awake and going about your normal routine.

The device works by delivering neuromuscular electrical stimulation to the tongue muscles through a small mouthpiece. During each 20-minute session, the device delivers gentle electrical impulses that cause the tongue muscles to contract and relax repeatedly — essentially providing a targeted workout for the muscles responsible for keeping the airway open during sleep.

Over time, these daily sessions strengthen the tongue musculature, reducing the muscle laxity that allows the tongue to fall back and collapse the airway during sleep — the primary mechanical cause of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Clinical studies show that regular use of eXciteOSA® produces significant, measurable reductions in snoring frequency and sleep apnea events.

eXciteOSA® is a strong option for patients who:

• Snore regularly and are seeking a non-invasive, non-surgical solution
• Have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
• Cannot tolerate or do not wish to use CPAP therapy
• Are looking for a daytime treatment that does not interfere with sleep
• Want to reduce airway collapse without undergoing surgical procedures

eXciteOSA® is not appropriate for all sleep apnea patients — those with severe OSA typically require more aggressive intervention. Dr. Brodner will evaluate your sleep study results, symptoms, and overall health profile to determine whether eXciteOSA® is the right fit, or whether other options — such as surgical sleep apnea treatment or snoring procedures — are more appropriate for your specific situation.

At The Center for Sinus, Allergy, & Sleep Wellness, sleep wellness is not a single-solution specialty. Dr. Brodner is double Board-Certified in Otolaryngology and Sleep Medicine, giving him the breadth of expertise to evaluate patients from both an anatomical and a sleep medicine perspective.

Depending on the factors driving your snoring or sleep apnea — whether structural nasal obstruction, tongue position, soft palate anatomy, or muscle tone — Dr. Brodner may recommend eXciteOSA® alone or in combination with other treatments such as Vivaer® Nasal Airway Remodeling , Coblation® Turbinate Reduction , or surgical options to achieve the most effective and personalized outcome.

What is eXciteOSA® and how does it treat snoring and sleep apnea?

eXciteOSA® is an FDA-cleared prescription device that delivers neuromuscular electrical stimulation to the tongue muscles during 20-minute daytime sessions. By regularly stimulating and strengthening the tongue musculature, eXciteOSA® reduces the muscle laxity that causes the tongue to fall back and collapse the airway during sleep — the primary mechanical driver of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Is eXciteOSA® a replacement for CPAP?

eXciteOSA® is not a universal replacement for CPAP, but it is a meaningful alternative for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP or prefer a non-device sleep therapy. Whether eXciteOSA® is appropriate as a standalone treatment or in combination with other approaches depends on the severity of your sleep apnea and your individual anatomy. Dr. Brodner will review your sleep study and make a personalized recommendation.

How long does each eXciteOSA® session take?

Each eXciteOSA® therapy session takes 20 minutes and is performed during the day — not at night. The mouthpiece is worn while you go about your normal routine, making it one of the most convenient and unobtrusive sleep apnea therapies available.

When will I notice results from eXciteOSA®?

Most patients begin noticing improvement in snoring frequency and sleep quality within the first several weeks of consistent daily use. As with any muscle-strengthening program, results build progressively over time with regular therapy. Dr. Brodner will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Is eXciteOSA® FDA cleared?

Yes. eXciteOSA® is FDA-cleared as a prescription treatment for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in adults. It has been evaluated in clinical studies confirming its safety and efficacy for these indications.

Can eXciteOSA® be combined with other sleep apnea treatments?

Yes. eXciteOSA® can be used alongside other treatments addressing the anatomical factors that contribute to snoring and sleep apnea — such as nasal obstruction treated with Vivaer® or Coblation® Turbinate Reduction. Dr. Brodner evaluates each patient comprehensively to determine the best combination of treatments for their specific anatomy and sleep apnea profile.

How do I get a prescription for eXciteOSA®?

eXciteOSA® is a prescription device that must be recommended by a qualified physician. At The Center for Sinus, Allergy, & Sleep Wellness, Dr. Brodner evaluates your sleep history, sleep study results, and anatomy before prescribing eXciteOSA®.
