Frustrated CPAP users are constantly asking me what other options are available. There are literally dozens of over-the-counter, natural, prescription, and surgical options that are available. I've chosen 9 options that have proven results, based on published research in peer-reviewed medical journals. There may be other options that may work very well, but as of date, I'm not aware of any prospective studies showing significant improvement based on sleep studies as well as quality of life questionnaires.

CPAP, although the "gold standard" form of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, has a number of common problems for many people. Join us for a discussion on the 7 most common problems you may have using CPAP (along with solutions).

If you tuned in to our last episode, I talked about the 7 reasons why oral appliances may be a good option for those of you with obstructive sleep apnea, and in today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the 8 reason why you may not want to consider oral appliances for sleep apnea. It’s challenging to find a qualified dentist for every patient It can change your bite It’s much more expensive than CPAP It can be lost or damaged If you have severe sleep apnea If you're severely overweight If your nose is stuffy Sometimes, the tongue may not move forward with jaw movement. Plus two more bonus reasons. Links and references mentioned: American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine American Academy of Sleep Medicine Interview with Dr. David Lawler iTunes link #55.

Many people hate the idea of using a CPAP mask attached to a hose every night. Fortunately, a good alternative to this is a mandibular advancement devices (also called oral appliances) come in various models, but they all have one thing in common: The lower jaw is pushed forward against the upper jaw, moving your tongue forward, opening up your airway. In this podcast episode, I will go over the 7 reasons why I like using mandibular advancement devices to treat obstructive sleep apnea. 1. No headgear or straps around your face. 2. It’s silent. CPAP 26 dB. 30 is a quiet whisper 3. It’s small and convenient 4. More dentists are available to make these devices, and are usually covered through most major insurances. 5. Equal to CPAP for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. 6. An oral appliance can used as a CPAP mask holder 7. It can be used effectively for snoring and UARS, even if you don’t have obstructive sleep apnea.
