Sleep Apnea and Oral Appliance Therapy: A Modern Alternative to CPAP
A patient-focused guide to obstructive sleep apnea symptoms and custom oral appliance therapy.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
These interruptions can lower oxygen levels, fragment sleep, and affect daytime alertness.
How Does Oral Appliance Therapy Work?
Oral appliances are custom devices that gently position the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway open.
Digital measurements and clinical follow-up allow the treatment to be adapted to each patient's anatomy and sleep findings.
