How Does Oral Appliance Treatment Work?
After meeting with you and discussing your situation, we can provide you with an oral appliance that is designed to help you breathe more easily while you’re asleep. The appliance will work to keep your airway open by moving your jaw slightly forward and/or holding your tongue in place during the night.
We’re proud to offer some of the best oral appliances on the market, including those made by Somnodent. These appliances are under a three-year warranty, so you can count on our team to ensure that your device remains fully functional during this time. If it’s not, we’ll repair it so you can continue reaping the benefits. We understand that life happens, and it’s possible for your device to sustain accidental damage or simply stop fitting like it’s supposed to. We’re here to make sure that no matter what happens, you’re able to consistently and safely use it each night.
Advantages of Oral Appliance Treatment
Oral appliance treatment comes with all kinds of benefits that make it a standout solution, especially when compared to CPAP therapy. Some of the most notable advantages include:
- Many patients find oral appliances to be much more comfortable to wear and easier to fall asleep with than a CPAP mask.
- Oral appliances are completely portable; they’re small and can fit inside any bag, and they don’t require power or setup.
- Oral appliances do not make any noise while they’re being used, which is ideal for patients who sleep with partners or in the same room as others.
-
Oral appliances don’t dry up your nasal passages, which is a common complaint that CPAP users often have to deal with.
Who Could Benefit from Oral Appliance Treatment?
Oral appliance treatment is most effective for mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea, as well as severe cases in patients who prefer an alternative to CPAP. If you feel as though your CPAP machine is too loud, too uncomfortable, or ineffective, switching to an oral appliance might be the sleep solution you’ve been searching for. Or, if you believe you might be suffering from sleep apnea and the thought of using a CPAP machine concerns you, once you’ve completed your sleep test, our team can help you figure out the best treatment for your needs and specific lifestyle.
Does Insurance Cover Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea?
In many cases, oral appliances for sleep apnea are typically a covered expense under your medical insurance, and you can often expect your plan to at least cover a portion of the cost of your sleep apnea oral appliance. However, since no two insurance plans are exactly alike, it’s important that you have an idea of what your coverage includes before committing to treatment. Our team is happy to provide a free benefits check of your specific plan, and we can also happily handle the claim-filing part of the process for you.
