Hate your CPAP?
There are alternatives to CPAP
Dr. Neal discusses oral appliance alternative to CPAP in sleep apnea video
October 24, 2007 -- The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recognizes comfortable oral appliances as an alternative to CPAP for patients with mild to moderate Sleep Apnea and for patients with severe Sleep Apnea who do not tolerate CPAP.
The nice things about oral appliances are there are no masks, no hoses and no noisy compressors.
CPAP is actually a marvelous invention according Dr. Neal.
It works great for people who tolerate it. Problem is only about one third of the patients prescribed CPAP actually use it. They often only wear it a few hours a night, not the prescribed 7 1/2 hours and this is dangerous. Many do not take it with them when they travel especially since the new TSA rules have made travel with CPAP more difficult.
There are about 30 different oral Appliances that can be used in place of CPAP
Dr. Neal can fit you with the oral appliance that will be most comfortable for your situation and test to make sure it is giving you the best result compared to CPAP
Dr. Neal is a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine
