Many patients cannot tolerate C-PAP therapy. A few of the reasons why patient’s fail with C-PAP therapy is the inability to tolerate the mask, feelings of claustrophobia, movement in bed constricted (by the tube), cannot sleep on the back (required by the therapy), discomfort from flow of pressurized air, sinus issues, digestive issues, sense of bloating from pressurized air, beards that prevent the mask from sealing on the face, the noise of the machine and the unattractive appearance of the mask and tubing. It’s important to recognize that if you have serious concerns about C-PAP or have failed to remain compliant with C-PAP you have very effective alternative treatment options. One of the most common alternative and successful alternative treatments is oral appliance therapy. If you or your partner no longer want to deal with a C-PAP please call today for a complimentary consultation so you can be on your way to better night’s sleep.
