Comfortable Solutions for Sleep Apnea & Snoring
For individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine is often prescribed. However, many patients find CPAP machines to be bulky, uncomfortable, and difficult to use consistently. At Van Orman Dental, we offer effective CPAP alternatives to help you breathe easier and sleep better, without the hassle of a machine.
Why Seek a CPAP Alternative?
While CPAP is a highly effective treatment for sleep apnea, many patients struggle with:
- Discomfort from the mask and air pressure
- Dry mouth, nasal congestion, or irritation
- Difficulty sleeping with the noise of the machine
- Claustrophobia or feeling of restriction
- Challenges with traveling and portability
CPAP Alternatives at Van Orman Dental
Our dental team specializes in comfortable, FDA-approved oral appliances that provide relief from snoring and sleep apnea without the use of a CPAP machine.
Custom Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) – The Most Effective CPAP Alternative:- A small, mouthguard-like device worn during sleep gently repositions the lower jaw to keep the airway open, Prevents tongue collapse that can block airflow, Reduces snoring and improves breathing naturally, Comfortable, portable, and easy to use.
Tongue Retaining Devices (TRDs):- Hold the tongue in place to prevent airway obstruction. Effective for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea. Non-invasive and does not require electricity.
Lifestyle Modifications for Sleep Apnea Relief:- Weight management to reduce airway restriction. Adjusting sleep positions (side sleeping helps keep the airway open). Avoiding alcohol and sedatives that relax the throat muscles
