When you receive a sleep apnea diagnosis, seeking functional treatment can help
alleviate your symptoms to provide a better night's rest. While a CPAP machine can help open your airways to allow you to breathe more freely, certain patients find this therapy bulky or uncomfortable. If you have problems staying asleep because of the device itself, you may still wake up throughout the night, not waking fully rested. To help accommodate this concern, we could provide an alternative treatment option that you may find less invasive.
At
your Mansfield, TX, sleep clinic, we provide alternative treatment to CPAP machines in the form of a custom oral appliance. With oral appliance therapy (OAT), we design a mouthguard that fits comfortably on your unique bite to open your throat as you sleep. Taking up far less space than a traditional CPA machine, you can sleep more easily without any noisy distractions.
