Is Your CPAP Machine Making Sleep a Struggle?

For many individuals diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy is a highly effective treatment. However, we understand that for others, it can present significant challenges. Are you experiencing:

  • Discomfort from the mask or straps?
  • Claustrophobia or anxiety when wearing the mask?
  • Skin irritation or pressure sores?
  • Dry mouth or nose?
  • Noise from the machine disturbing your sleep or your partner’s?
  • Difficulty with travel or portability?

You are not alone. Many patients find CPAP difficult to tolerate, leading to inconsistent use and, consequently, ongoing health risks from untreated sleep apnea. At NTX Sleep Solutions, led by Dr. Rebecca Lauck, we offer highly effective and comfortable CPAP alternative solutions designed to help you get the restorative sleep you need.

Oral Appliance Therapy: Your Premier CPAP Alternative

The leading CPAP alternative offered at NTX Sleep Solutions is Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT). This non-invasive treatment utilizes a custom-fitted dental device, worn comfortably while you sleep, to gently keep your airway open.

Dr. Rebecca Lauck, with her two diplomate degrees in Sleep Apnea Treatment and over 2,500 hours of continued education, specializes in designing and fitting these personalized devices. She ensures each appliance is tailored to your unique oral anatomy, maximizing comfort and effectiveness.

How Oral Appliance Therapy Works as a CPAP Alternative:

Instead of using air pressure, a custom oral appliance works by:

  • Gently repositioning your lower jaw and/or tongue forward. This subtle adjustment prevents the soft tissues in your throat from collapsing and blocking your airway during sleep.
  • Promoting continuous, unobstructed breathing, which helps to eliminate snoring and reduce sleep apnea episodes.

Why Choose Oral Appliance Therapy Over CPAP?

For patients who struggle with CPAP, OAT offers compelling advantages:

  • Exceptional Comfort: No masks, hoses, or straps. Our custom appliances fit snugly and discreetly in your mouth.
  • Completely Silent: Provides quiet sleep for both you and your partner.
  • Highly Portable: Small, lightweight, and easy to travel with, ensuring consistent therapy anywhere.
  • Non-Invasive: A simple, comfortable device worn only during sleep.
  • Effective: Clinically proven to be a highly successful treatment for mild to moderate OSA and snoring.
  • Personalized Care: Dr. Lauck’s extensive experience with various FDA-approved appliance designs (including SomnoMed, Herbst, and ProSomnus EVO) allows her to select the perfect solution for your individual needs.
