Why a Sleep Apnea Mouthpiece May be Better Than CPAP

A snoring man sleeping next to an upset woman covering her ears with a pillow.

If you’ve spent years trying to have a normal life with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, you know just how challenging the sleeping disorder can be for your home and family. You may not even be sharing a bedroom anymore, just because of how loud and cumbersome the CPAP equipment is at night.

We have good news: you might have an alternative to CPAP for good…the oral sleep appliance.

Oral sleep appliances can help people who are CPAP intolerant to enjoy a better night’s rest from as quickly as the first use. Here’s how:

  • Your oral appliance is FDA approved for managing obstructive sleep apnea. Even Medicaid will sometimes cover the device, because it’s the only viable option to a CPAP machine.
  • Oral appliances naturally increase air flow, as they position your jaw in a way that prevents airway blockage. No machines are necessary!
  • It’s easy to travel with your sleep mouthpiece and take it on overnight trips. If you’ve been afraid of flying with your CPAP or going on vacation because it requires sharing a hotel room with someone, you now have more options.

If you haven’t been diagnosed with a sleeping disorder, sleep mouthpieces work well for people who snore, or can be made at the direction of your physician once you complete a sleep consultation. Our Brookhaven dentist can also let you know if we see any signs of oral sleep apnea during your exam (your teeth will tell us!)
