How Sleep Appliances Work
Sleep appliances function by slightly advancing the lower jaw or holding the tongue in a forward position, which can significantly reduce airway obstruction. This adjustment helps maintain an open, unobstructed airway throughout the night, facilitating smoother breathing and reducing the incidence of sleep apnea episodes and snoring.
Benefits of Sleep Appliances
By mitigating breathing disruptions, sleep appliances contribute to more restful and uninterrupted sleep.
Benefits of Sleep Appliances
01
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Diagnosis
Individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea can significantly benefit from a sleep appliance. These devices are designed to open the airway by repositioning the jaw or tongue, reducing apnea episodes and improving oxygen flow during sleep.
04
Frequent Travel
The compact and portable nature of sleep appliances makes them ideal for frequent travellers. Unlike CPAP machines, which can be bulky and require electricity, sleep appliances are easy to transport and use anywhere, ensuring consistent sleep apnea treatment on the go.
02
Chronic Snoring
For those who suffer from chronic snoring, a sleep appliance can offer a simple yet effective solution. By ensuring the airway remains open throughout the night, these devices can minimize or eliminate snoring, leading to quieter and more restful sleep for both the snorer and their partner.
05
Preference for a Non-Invasive Option
Individuals seeking a non-invasive treatment option for sleep apnea or snoring may find sleep appliances to be an attractive choice. These devices do not require surgery or external machines, making them a simple and effective solution.
03
CPAP Intolerance
Some individuals find Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines uncomfortable or cumbersome. A sleep appliance provides an excellent alternative for those who are CPAP intolerant, offering a less invasive and more comfortable way to manage sleep apnea.
06
Difficulty Sleeping in a Single Position
Sleep appliances allow for greater freedom of movement during sleep compared to treatments like CPAP, which can be restrictive. This makes them suitable for individuals who have difficulty maintaining a single sleeping position or find the masks and hoses of CPAP machines to be disruptive to their sleep.
