Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)
Oral appliance therapy is a widely accepted and effective non-CPAP treatment for many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. Rather than using a mask and airflow, OAT uses a custom dental device that repositions the jaw or supports the airway to keep upper airway structures open during sleep.
Key features & benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy:
While OAT may not replace CPAP in every case (especially severe OSA), it is an excellent option for patients who struggle with CPAP tolerance, claustrophobia, mask leaks, or discomfort.
