Oral appliance therapy is a well-recognised alternative treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, especially patients diagnosed with mild and moderate Sleep Apnoea, with snoring and patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.
It is important to discuss if Oral appliance therapy is an option for you, with your doctor.
How does Oral Appliance therapy work in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, especially with snoring?
Oral appliance therapy, also known as Mandibular Advancement Device therapy or Oral Appliance Therapy works by very specifically repositioning the lower jaw, opening the airway in a managed way to reduce airway obstruction and nighttime noise, while worn at night. There are very precise steps in the assessment, device system design and ongoing management of patient with Sleep Apnoea, in oral appliance therapy.
