Other Sleep Therapy Treatments

Oral Appliance Therapy

Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) offers a non-invasive, custom-fit solution for sleep apnea patients. Designed to reposition the lower jaw and tongue, these devices prevent airway obstructions during sleep. They're a preferred choice for many due to their comfort, portability, and efficacy, particularly for those with mild to moderate sleep apnea or those who cannot tolerate CPAP.

CPAP

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a well-established treatment for sleep apnea. It involves a machine that delivers a constant flow of air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep. While highly effective, especially for severe sleep apnea cases, some users find it cumbersome. With modern advancements, CPAP machines are now quieter and more user-friendly, making it easier for patients to achieve a good night's rest.
