What Is CPAP Therapy?

CPAP stands for “continuous positive airway pressure.” CPAP machines are a popular, tried and tested way of treating sleep apnea. They involve wearing a mask over your nose and/or mouth as you sleep. Air is constantly projected through the mask into the airway, keeping it open. This method can be lifechanging for those with sleep apnea.

What Are Oral Sleep Appliances?

An oral sleep appliance is a more conservative, comfortable alternative to CPAP therapy. This treatment involves wearing an appliance that is customized to fit your mouth perfectly. We make impressions of your smile, so your appliance is custom made for you. The appliance works by holding your lower in the right position to prevent your airway from collapsing while you sleep.

How Does Combined Therapy Work?

With combined sleep apnea therapy, we put together two of the most popular and effective sleep apnea treatments to help our patients achieve restful sleep. This includes oral appliance therapy and CPAP therapy. The oral appliance shifts the position of your jaw to keep your airway open. At the same time, the CPAP machine pushes a steady flow of oxygen into the nose, ensuring the airway doesn’t become blocked. The CPAP mask that is used for combined treatment only covers the nose.

Which Sleep Apnea Treatment Is Right for You?

CPAP therapy and oral appliance therapy are both non-invasive ways to manage sleep apnea. When determine the best treatment option for you, it’s important to consider the severity of your sleep apnea and whether or not you would be compliant with your treatment. During your consultation with us, we can discuss your symptoms and treatment options to determine which one will best meet your needs.
