Let’s face it: even though your CPAP machine (opens in new tab) may be effective at treating your obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it is definitely not the most comfortable treatment. The mask can be uncomfortable, the machine itself can be inconvenient, and you may not use it as often as you should for these reasons, making it less effective overall. Luckily, you don’t have to struggle with this uncomfortable device anymore. Your team at Medina Sleep Solutions in Medina, OH (opens in new tab), can offer you an easy-to-use oral appliance that reduces your symptoms and improves your health.

Severe Snoring Could Be OSA

Simply put, we recommend that you visit us if you often experience loud, constant snoring at night. If you tend to snore on a nightly basis, and it is so loud that it keeps your partner up, it could be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which causes you to stop breathing throughout the night. This health condition can put your overall health at risk, from your physical health to your mental well-being. If you experience symptoms such as loud snoring, difficulty concentrating, headaches, or increased blood pressure, schedule a consultation for sleep therapy with our team today.

CPAP Therapy Vs Oral Appliance

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy works by using a machine with a mask that delivers airflow to you throughout the entire night. At night, you seal the mask over your face to ensure constant airflow. Although effective, many patients can find the mask to be claustrophobic and uncomfortable to sleep with because it covers your face. Alternatively, you can wear the oral appliance in your mouth, just like you would a mouth guard during a sporting event. The appliance keeps your jaw and tongue in place and your airways open, which helps reduce snoring and get better airflow.

Enjoy The Benefits Of Treatment

Oral appliance therapy (opens in new tab) can offer you several benefits. First and foremost, this treatment option may be more convenient and comfortable for you. Instead of needing to bring your CPAP machine with you anywhere you travel, you can easily pack your oral appliance with you. This means you don’t have to stop doing what you love just because of your health condition. Additionally, taking steps to address your symptoms of OSA can help lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of stroke. Last but not least, getting a better night’s sleep will improve your mood and ability to concentrate during the day.
