Has receiving a restful night’s sleep been interrupted by frequent snoring? If you find yourself waking with a sore or dry throat, you may snore more than the average person. Although it is normal for it to happen from time to time, if it is an ongoing problem, it could indicate that you have a more serious issue that requires treatment. Chronic snoring is among one of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea. This sleep disorder causes you to stop breathing several times throughout the night, which can significantly impact your general health. To stop your snoring and to breathe easier, you may need sleep apnea treatment.

Sleep apnea is the cessation of breathing for ten or more seconds at a time during sleep, and while anyone can suffer from this sleep disorder, it is more common for patients over the age of 60. That means it’s very important that your treatment option is covered by Medicare. If you are one of the thousands of US adults over 60 with sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy may be a great option for you, and most dental sleep medicine is covered by Medicare and other insurance providers.

Can I Use an Oral Appliance Instead of CPAP?
August 15, 2017
If you’ve recently been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, you may be worried that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the only treatment option you have. These systems are effective, but many patients struggle to adjust to the sounds or sensations caused by their CPAP systems. A dentist can provide a viable alternative treatment option. Oral appliance therapy keeps the airway clear using just a small, portable, comfortable mouthguard rather than large facial masks and noisy air pumps. They’re not effective in treating all cases of sleep apnea. Sufferers of central sleep apnea, which occurs when the brain fails to trigger the body to inhale during sleep, will not receive adequate relief from sleep apnea therapy using oral appliances. Additionally, those who have severe obstructive sleep apnea may be better served by using a CPAP system or combined oral appliance and CPAP therapy. For patients with mild to moderate apnea, oral appliances may be a great option.
