If you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, then it is important to find a course of care that is comfortable and convenient enough for you to stick to your treatment. This can be tough for those who currently use (or should use) traditional CPAP therapy, as the plugs and the hoses can be too much of a hassle to ensure proper compliance, and anywhere from one-third to over half of all patients who try this approach stop using it as intended. When you struggle with your sleep, take the time to talk to your local oral health team about a different, more comfortable sleep apnea solution.
At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, we understand the science behind this common sleep disorder, and that is why we appreciate the advantages of oral appliance therapy. This form of obstructive sleep apnea treatment works by gently repositioning the placement of your jaw and tongue during sleep, and it does so without the need for an electrical outlet. Simply pop in your oral appliance before bed, and start to experience a better night of rest through a more comfortable and convenient option. To find out more, call us today!
