There are several treatment options besides CPAP. In collaboration with a dental specialist, we can explore one of the most popular, which is a custom oral appliance that you wear at night like a grinding guard or Invisalign®. The goal is for the device to hold your lower jaw forward just enough to stabilize your airway and breathing, but not so far that you develop jaw discomfort or bite issues. These oral devices are small but mighty. If you decide to undergo this treatment approach, we will work closely with your dentist to identify the optimal setting on the device. Even people who love their CPAP can benefit from an oral appliance and often prefer them for short trips instead of taking their CPAP.
