Oral Appliance Therapy for Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition that causes intermittent breathing pauses during sleep. A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is an effective treatment but some users find this device uncomfortable and prefer oral appliance therapy (OAT) as an alternative. The therapy uses an oral device similar to a protective mouthguard that:
– Is custom fit by the dentist for each patient to fit over the teeth
– Shifts the jaw position to keep airways open during sleep
– Prevents the tongue from blocking the air passage
Oral appliance therapy is often preferred by many patients who “love the discreetness of the device” and its ease of use compared to CPAP machines. Read more about OAT at https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/can-your-dentist-get-you-off-your-cpap/
