A clinician-style explanation comparing ApneaLase and NightLase procedures for sleep-disordered breathing. The speaker recommends an airway assessment and a prompt sleep study (obtainable quickly) and explains that NightLase was originally developed to reduce snoring while ApneaLase is targeted at obstructive sleep apnea; the clinician states they now use the ApneaLase technique for most sleep-disordered breathing because it is more effective.

When you come in, we'll assess you and look in your airway and see if you're a candidate for the apnea lays and night lays. We typically recommend you get a sleep study if you haven't had it done. And we can do it. You know, you can do it the same day and get the results tomorrow and schedule your procedure. If you decide to move forward with the apnea lays procedure or the night lays procedure. The apnea lase is for apnea. The night lase is for snoring is basically the same procedure. The original night lays procedure was really more of a minor procedure to get the snoring reduced. We use the apnea lace technique for pretty much all sleep disorder breathing because it works much better.
