When you learn more about oral device therapy, our sleep professionals at Complete Health Sleep of SoCal are confident that you will be eager to explore this CPAP alternative.
Our mission is to allow you to live your best life and pursue your dreams. We demonstrate this in our commitment to finding you the right option and offering our Poway/Rancho Bernardo patients the most effective CPAP alternatives available.
Oral Device Therapy
Oral device therapy is a valuable alternative treatment to CPAP for individuals with sleep apnea. It offers a non-invasive and comfortable approach to address sleep apnea symptoms and improve the health of your sleep.
Oral devices are custom-made appliances that fit inside your mouth. They are designed to reposition your jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction during sleep, facilitating the unobstructed flow of air and reducing or eliminating sleep apnea events.
Our sleep professionals at Complete Health Sleep of SoCal specialize in oral device therapy.
