CPAP vs. Sleep Apnea Appliance: Find the One That’s Right for You
Sleep apnea is often caused by an airway that collapses or becomes blocked while you sleep, which creates frequent pauses in your breathing. To keep your airway open as you sleep, you can use a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine or an oral appliance. A CPAP keeps it open with air pressure you take in through a hose and face mask. An appliance moves your jaw into a position that keeps the airway clear.
Our dentists will make impressions of your teeth to fit you for a custom oral appliance from respected brand SomnoDent or ResMed. Many sleep apnea sufferers find an oral appliance:
- More Comfortable Than a CPAP – With an appliance, you can drink and speak without removing it. There’s no mask to rub against your face.
- More Durable Than a CPAP – Without mechanical parts or a motor, an appliance can last for many years without being replaced.
- Easier to Use Than a CPAP – With no need for batteries or electricity, you can use an appliance anywhere.
