Exploring CPAP Alternatives in Royal Palm Beach
Have you been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea and wear a CPAP mask? Do you often sleep without it because you find it uncomfortable?
There may be a better way. Our Royal Palm Beach dental office offers alternate sleep apnea treatment using a simple, comfortable dental device and oral appliance therapy.
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) aren’t compliant with wearing their CPAP masks. They may find it intrusive or uncomfortable or that the machine is too noisy. The result is that the CPAP machine designed to treat their sleep apnea ends up sitting unused in a closet.
Dr. Bussell works with your sleep physician to determine if oral appliance therapy is the right approach to treat your sleep apnea. Oral appliance therapy (OAT) involves wearing a customized dental device while you sleep and can be the perfect CPAP alternative.
OAT gently repositions your lower jaw slightly forward to open the airway and allow you to breathe freely. Our sleep apnea dentist uses dental impressions to customize the appliance to fit comfortably over your teeth and make it easy to wear.
During your consultation for sleep apnea treatment, Dr. Bussell will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate for oral appliance therapy.
Is Oral Appliance Therapy Right for You?
Your health and safety are of the utmost importance to us, and we will work closely with your sleep doctor to determine if sleep apnea treatment in Royal Palm Beach, such as oral appliance therapy, is a safe option for you.
