Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is a treatment used to manage the disorder sleep apnoea. Committing to CPAP is essential in preventing serious health problems, but discomfort with CPAP therapy equipment (which involves a mask) can stop people using it every night.

Key takeaways:

-  An oral device may serve as an appropriate alternative, shifting the lower jaw and teeth forward to keep airways open.
-  The device easy to transport, encouraging continued use when away from home.
-  Research indicates people find it easier to comply with the therapy, called Oral Appliance Therapy.

Consult with your dentist if you feel it could benefit you more than CPAP therapy.
