What Is Oral Appliance Treatment?
Oral appliance treatment is designed to maintain an open airway during sleep, preventing the dangerous pauses in breathing that characterize sleep apnea. These appliances work by slightly adjusting the jaw’s position, often moving it forward to reduce airway obstruction. Since every mouth is different, your appliance will be custom-made to ensure a secure, comfortable fit that allows you to sleep soundly without interruption.
Who Can Benefit from Oral Appliance Treatment?
Oral appliance treatment is a great option for those with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. It’s also a popular alternative for patients who struggle with or prefer not to use CPAP machines. That said, not everyone is a candidate —you’ll need a thorough evaluation to determine if this treatment is right for your specific case. If you’ve already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, don’t hesitate to reach out to us to discuss whether an oral appliance could be a good fit.
What Are the Advantages of Oral Appliance Treatment?
Oral appliance treatment offers a proven, non-invasive way to manage obstructive sleep apnea — but that’s just the start. There are many added benefits to choosing an oral appliance (especially when compared to CPAP):
- Simple to use
- Creates no sound
- Stops or drastically reduces snoring
- Easy maintenance
- Easy to bring when traveling
- Also prevents teeth grinding
How Can Oral Appliance Treatment Help CPAP Users?
Why do so many patients transition from CPAP machines to oral appliances? For one, oral appliances are typically far more comfortable and discreet. Unlike CPAP machines, which are bulky, noisy, and require masks, oral appliances are small, easy to wear, and silent.
In some cases, an oral appliance can even be used alongside a CPAP. By keeping the airway open with an appliance, you may be able to lower the CPAP machine’s settings, reducing its pressure and noise — making for a more comfortable and quiet night’s rest.
