No Hose. No Mask. Just Sleep
You Have Another Option!
CPAP, or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is comprised of a mask that delivers positive air flow to the nose and sometimes the mouth during sleep. This device is highly effective for most people. However, some patients have a difficult time tolerating the therapy. There are various reasons for CPAP intolerance including comfort issues, mask leak, and claustrophobia.
Oral Appliance Therapy, or OAT, is a safe and effective scientifically proven treatment for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. It holds the jaw and tongue forward and prevents the throat from collapsing during sleep. OAT is used as a first line of therapy for patients with mild-moderate sleep apnea, as an alternative to CPAP for patients with severe sleep apnea, or as an alternative option for patients who travel or camp frequently.
