Treatment Options
Custom Oral Appliances
For many patients, a custom oral appliance provides a comfortable, easy-to-use alternative to CPAP. It works by holding the lower jaw in an open, precise, forward position. This prevents the soft tissues in the neck and throat from collapsing and causing lapses in breathing.
Benefits To Oral Appliances
Oral appliances are optimal for use at home or while traveling. Also, it is noiseless and barely noticeable for either bed partner. Medicare and medical insurance will typically cover the cost of a sleep appliance.
CPAP
Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) is the traditional treatment for sleep apnea. This system consists of a machine that pumps air continuously into a nasal mask strapped to the patient’s head during sleep. CPAP is a highly effective way of managing sleep apnea, but it can be uncomfortable and difficult to tolerate for some patients.
If you are having trouble wearing your CPAP every night, there are other options for treatment. To receive more information, please contact us today at 817-354-0606.
