What Is Oral Appliance Therapy?
Oral appliance therapy uses a custom-fitted mouthpiece—similar to a sports guard—to gently reposition your jaw and keep your airway open during sleep. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking an effective, portable alternative to CPAP therapy.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Oral appliances are recommended for:
- Mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
- Patients unable to tolerate CPAP
- Chronic snorers
- Patients who travel frequently and need a more convenient option
How CPAP Therapy Works
Your CPAP device delivers air at a pressure level tailored to your needs. At our Houston clinic, we provide:
- Personalized pressure settings
- Mask fitting and comfort adjustments
- Compliance monitoring
Troubleshooting for dryness, leaks, or discomfort
