Sleep apnea is a potentially serious condition where one's breathing stops and starts again while sleeping. Sleep apnea can cause death because of the infrequent and inadequate flow of oxygen during sleep. Snoring and exhaustion after a night's rest are common symptoms of sleep apnea.

How is sleep apnea diagnosed?

If you have symptoms of sleep apnea, your doctor may provide you with a home sleep test that measures your heart rate, breathing patterns, and oxygen levels while you sleep. If you have abnormalities, you may be diagnosed with sleep apnea.

How is sleep apnea treated?

If your case is mild, your doctor may suggest lifestyle changes that may include weight loss or giving up smoking. More severe cases may need to wear a CPAP machine or an oral appliance.

Is an oral appliance better than a CPAP machine?

Oral appliances are comfortable and portable alternatives that do not cause claustrophobia and movement restrictions like CPAP machines can. Additionally, forced air is not needed to keep the airway open.

Embrace a Restful Sleep with Oral Appliance - The CPAP Alternative

Sleep appliances, a practical alternative to CPAP machines, offer a successful solution for managing sleep apnea. These custom-designed devices maintain your jaw in an optimal position, ensuring your throat remains open for unobstructed breathing throughout the night.
