The adjustment to wearing a CPAP mask and depending on your machine to maintain steady breathing while you sleep can be a difficult one for many people. In some cases, adjusting remains elusive, and that means they effectively have a new problem keeping them from resting through the night. What can you do if your first sleep apnea treatment fails to help? If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, a different solution is available. We can provide a custom oral appliance that you wear at night to keep your airways open!
Oral appliance therapy is a sleep apnea solution that you can find easy to adjust to and enjoy. Its presence corrects the position of your lower jaw so that you breathe without difficulty throughout the night, as you no longer have to worry about soft tissues in the throat interfering with your airways. We take care to provide guards that are designed for comfortable use, which both ensures yours will stay in place and prevents discomfort that affects your sleep.
Treating sleep apnea effectively can give you more energy, improve your mood, and protect you against long-term threats to your well-being. You can also see improvements in short-term memory, reduce your risk for falling asleep at inappropriate or dangerous times, and find it easier to lower your blood pressure.
The ongoing issues you have with your CPAP machine can stop you from enjoying the recovery you looked forward to after choosing to treat sleep apnea. This issue does not mean that you have no way to treat this condition—by using a custom oral guard, you can stop breathing difficulties during the night and complete your rest cycles once again! Our practice is here to help you take on your issues effectively. Whether you need to start sleep apnea treatment or change your approach to enjoy the right results, we can help.
