A Better Night’s Sleep Is Just Around the Corner

When most people imagine sleep apnea treatment, they picture CPAP therapy, which involves the use of a loud, disruptive machine and mask worn over the face at night. For quite some time, CPAP therapy was the go-to for managing the condition—but now, oral appliance therapy has emerged as an effective, convenient, and remarkable alternative. Here at OS Dental, we specialize in providing custom-made oral appliances that fully counter the symptoms of sleep apnea. Plus, these devices are undeniably easier and more comfortable to use than traditional CPAP machines. Ready to conquer your sleep apnea and enjoy consistent nightly rest again?

Advantages of Oral Appliance Therapy

Many sleep apnea patients prefer oral appliance therapy over other treatment methods. Some notable advantages include:

Unlike a CPAP machine, an oral appliance doesn’t need to be plugged in, it doesn’t have multiple components, and it doesn’t make noise. It’s small, sturdy, and totally silent.
Using, cleaning, and maintaining an oral appliance is much simpler and more affordable compared to a CPAP machine.
Oral appliances are also very portable and easy to travel with; they can fit into any purse, backpack, or small bag—just be sure to keep it in its carrying case for its own protection.

Who Could Benefit from an Oral Appliance?

How Can You Get an Oral Appliance?

While there are many sleep apnea appliances available through online retailers or pharmacies, the truth is, if you want to obtain something that’ll actually help with your sleep apnea, you should pay our Mesquite office a visit. Our team has extensive experience treating sleep apnea and helping patients manage their symptoms, and we can develop a treatment plan that takes your specific needs and lifestyle into consideration. Remember, a patient must have received a formal sleep apnea diagnosis before they’re able to move forward with custom oral appliance therapy; the information from this sleep study and corresponding diagnosis is needed to ensure an effective oral appliance can be made!
