Custom Oral Appliance Therapy: Revolutionary Sleep Apnea Treatment Options
Custom Oral Appliance Therapy, also known as OAT, has revolutionized Sleep Apnea treatment. While CPAP machines have many benefits, other oral appliances are less invasive and more comfortable for users. Check out some of our favorite CPAP alternatives below:
Kids Vivos Starter: Children up to age 12 can use the Kids Vivos Starter when they sleep to help train their tongue to rest against the roof of their mouth. This helps kids breathe through their nose instead of their mouth resulting in better sleep and proper jaw expansion.
DNA Appliance:
This Vivos appliance is best suited for adults with mild to moderate sleep apnea. Individuals with a DNA Appliance typically need to wear their appliance for 10-12 hours per day. The DNA Appliance helps to expand the palate and jaw bones allowing for open airways. This gentle expansion of the palate leads to restful, undisturbed sleep.
EMA Appliance: Another option for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea is the EMA Appliance. This customized, removable appliance is designed to bring your lower jaw forward to open your airways. With opened-up airways, you’ll experience better airflow while you sleep.
