Living with sleep apnea can be challenging, especially when it impacts your daily quality of life. Many people turn to CPAP machines, but they can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. Thankfully, there are effective alternatives like sleep apnea mouthpieces. Dr. Christian from The Sleep & TMJ Group specializes in helping patients find the best mouthpiece to manage their sleep apnea comfortably and effectively.
A sleep apnea mouthpiece, also known as an oral appliance, is a device worn in the mouth during sleep to keep the airway open. These devices work by repositioning the jaw or tongue to prevent airway obstruction, helping you breathe more easily throughout the night. Because they are smaller and less intrusive than CPAP machines, many patients find them to be a much more agreeable option.
Choosing the right sleep apnea mouthpiece can be overwhelming due to the variety of options available. Dr. Christian emphasizes the importance of being informed about the different types and what to consider when selecting one. In this article, we will explore the types of sleep apnea mouthpieces, important factors to consider, the benefits of custom-fitted options, and how Dr. Christian can assist you in finding the best fit for your needs.
