The unit consists of a mask that connects to a central base that pumps air through a tube. For some people, this isn\u2019t the ideal way of treating sleep apnea. Is there an alternative? Read on to learn about a better way to receive sleep apnea treatment in Las Vegas!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Problems with the CPAP Machine<\/h2>\n<p>There are a few features of the CPAP machine experience that many patients aren\u2019t fond of, which include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The machine is loud and disrupts the sleep cycle.<\/li>\n<li>The mask is uncomfortable to wear while sleeping.<\/li>\n<li>Transporting the machine when traveling presents challenges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>An Alterative Method to Treat Sleep Apnea<\/h2>\n<p>Patients are still able to get the treatment they need for sleep apnea with an oral sleep appliance. It\u2019s custom-designed by your dentist to fit your mouth and to position either your jaw or tongue so that air can flow easily while you sleep.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Types of Oral Sleep Appliances<\/h2>\n<p>Here are the two primary types of oral sleep appliances available from your sleep dentistry specialist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mandibular Repositioning Device <\/strong>\u2013 This type of appliance is designed to slightly move the lower part of your jaw. The small adjustment creates the alignment necessary to allow air to pass through your throat properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tongue Retaining Device <\/strong>\u2013 Another alternative is an oral appliance designed to hold the tongue forward so it doesn\u2019t fall backwards and restrict your airflow. This is more often suggested for patients with larger tongues, tooth loss or bouts of intense joint pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Advantages of Working with an Expert<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re diagnosed with sleep apnea, then it benefits you to work with a dentist with the knowledge and experience needed to restore you to normal. This professional will take the time to assess your current condition to make a sound diagnosis and provide the proper treatment protocol for your situation.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Start the Process<\/h2>\n<p>The process for getting the sleep you need starts with reaching out to your dentist to schedule a consultation. While there, your specialist will take the time to examine your current condition to determine the best course of action to improve your health.<\/p>\n<p>So remember, if you\u2019ve been dealing with daily lethargy, bouts of depression, irritable moods or erectile dysfunction, then you\u2019re in need of sleep apnea therapy in Las Vegas.
