So, should you use a CPAP or come to our office in Novi, MI for a sleep apnea appliance? Here are a few things you should consider. Then, you can call 248-264-3922 for your appointment at The Sleep Apnea Center of Novi.
Treatment Only Works If You Use It
Many people are prescribed a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. This can certainly be effective, but research shows that between 33 and 50 percent of people quit using their machines within a year.
Find Something You Will Stick With
Oral appliances can be just as effective as CPAP machine. Our appliances are custom-made for you, so they can be as comfortable as possible. You may need a little time to get used to sleeping with the appliance, but countless patients have told us how much they prefer this to their old CPAPs.
Avoid Complications
When you have a CPAP, you need to wear a mask while you sleep. Many people find that irritating. Some people find the air pushing into their airway makes them uncomfortable. Still other people (or their partners) find the sound of the machine distracting. In contrast, the appliance is quiet and doesn’t require a special set up when you are ready for bed.
Get the rest you want with a simple fix.
