Effective Sleep Apnea Mouthpiece Treatments

Why Patients Are Using Oral Appliances Over CPAP

Oral appliance therapy is a viable treatment that works to correct nighttime snoring and disruptive sleep disorders, like obstructive sleep apnea. Worn during your night’s sleep, the dental mouthpiece fits similarly as to a sports mouth guard. The mouthpiece keeps your bottom jaw pulled slightly forward to help keep your airway unobstructed and open while you sleep.
Patients have been altering to this treatment instead of CPAP because they are much more comfortable and convenient. CPAP may work for many, but others find these machines to be claustrophobic, noisy, and unbearable to wear as they try to sleep. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Bogrow if you’ve tried CPAP and desire to obtain an alternative effective treatment for your snoring and sleep apnea.

Testimonials

“Dr. Bogrow and his staff helped me deal with sleep apnea in a painless, non-invasive way without a C-PAP machine. Prior to using the dental appliance, my sleep study measured nine interruptions an hour. After getting used to, and wearing the appliance for over a year, my follow-up sleep study measured just TWO interruptions per hour. I don’t notice these interruptions at all and I am waking up feeling wonderfully well-rested! Dr. Bogrow’s been so kind and very patient with me, because getting the best results requires fine-tuning and patience as the appliance is adjusted. Dr. Bogrow takes time to listen to answer any questions I have. I truly appreciate the service he provides and would recommend this option to anyone with mild sleep apnea, before starting on a CPAP machine. As they say, “There’s nothing like a great night’s sleep!”
