What are the benefits of using a dental appliance for sleep apnea?
Dental appliances for sleep apnea offer several benefits, especially for those who struggle with CPAP machines. They are less intrusive, portable, and easier to maintain. These appliances also reduce or eliminate snoring, leading to better sleep quality for both you and your partner. Additionally, using a sleep apnea mouth guard can significantly improve your overall health by reducing the risks associated with untreated sleep apnea, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

How effective are dental devices in treating sleep apnea compared to CPAP?
For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, dental devices can be just as effective as CPAP machines. While CPAP is the standard treatment for severe sleep apnea, many patients prefer dental appliances due to their comfort and ease of use. These mouth guards are custom-made to fit your mouth and work by keeping your airway open during sleep. They are an excellent alternative for those who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy or want a more convenient option.
