For a long time, doctors have used a CPAP to treat patients with sleep apnea. But for many who’ve used one, a CPAP just ends up creating more problems than it solves.
CPAPs are bulky, noisy machines, and a surprising number of patients who have one report that they only wear it for four hours a night, and in some case even less than that. That means patients who thought they would finally have relief from their sleep apnea are still suffering from daytime drowsiness and possibly a host of other serious health problems, including:
- High blood pressure
- Depression
- Diabetes complications
- Obesity
But true relief is possible. With a SomnoDent MAS™ oral appliance from Dr. Rodgers Dunwoody office, you can finally have that restful night of sleep a CPAP was supposed to give you but didn’t.
Why Should You Consider an Oral Appliance?
The first reason is that a SomnoDent MAS oral appliance is more comfortable. It fits over the contours of your teeth and gently positions your jaw so that airways are kept clear.
This means you can also look forward to more than just a night of easy breathing—you can look forward to a quiet night, too. Instead of laying awake listening to your CPAP, you can drift off to sleep comfortably, surrounded by silence.
What’s more, a SomnoDent MAS oral appliance is a more affordable than a CPAP and is long-lasting, making it perfect for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
You can find out more about how you can treat your sleep apnea without a CPAP by calling our office and scheduling an appointment with Dr. Rodgers. We serve patients from Dunwoody and surrounding cities.
