Can a Simple Oral Appliance Treat Sleep Apnea?
Custom made oral appliances, or splints effectively treat obstructive sleep apnea. Worn at night, mandibular advancement devices and similar appliances adjust the position of your jaw to prevent chronic obstruction from occurring during sleep.
While some cases of sleep apnea require the use of a CPAP machine, most do not. Many sleep apnea patients who have had trouble adjusting to a forced air method of relief, have achieved better sleep quality and gained control over this troublesome condition quickly, after switching to treatment with an oral appliance.
