What Is Oral Appliance Therapy? A Solution for Sleep Apnea and Snoring

November 18, 2024

Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) is an effective, non-invasive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring. This therapy involves wearing a custom-fitted device, similar to a mouthguard, while you sleep. The device works by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep your airway open, reducing interruptions to your breathing. At Treat Your Apnea, oral appliance therapy is offered as a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional treatments like CPAP machines, making it a preferred choice for many patients seeking a better night’s rest.

This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate sleep apnea or those who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. Oral appliances are custom-designed based on your unique anatomy, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal effectiveness. They are small, portable, and easy to maintain, making them especially beneficial for those who travel frequently or dislike bulky equipment. By addressing the root cause of sleep apnea—blocked airways—OAT not only improves sleep quality but also reduces the risks associated with untreated OSA, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue.

At Treat Your Apnea, the process of starting oral appliance therapy is seamless and personalized. The team conducts a thorough evaluation to determine if OAT is the right solution for your needs. Once an appliance is crafted, they provide guidance on proper use and follow-up care to ensure lasting results. Patients often report immediate improvements in their sleep patterns, energy levels, and overall well-being. If you struggle with sleep apnea or disruptive snoring, oral appliance therapy offers a simple yet highly effective path to better sleep and improved health.
