Austin and Lakeway Sleep Apnea Treatment with Oral Appliance Therapy

Studies have shown that patients with mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea can benefit from Oral Appliance Therapy if the patient is CPAP intolerant. The CPAP is still the gold standard for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, especially moderate to severe cases. But for those who either can't tolerate the CPAP, have very mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or snore (and don't Obstructive Sleep Apnea), oral appliance therapy is a great option. With any symptoms of Sleep Apnea or Sleep Breathing Disorders, one of the first steps is to undergo a Sleep Study. If you're not sure you about your symptoms, you can consult with a Sleep Physician or a Sleep Apnea Dentist. Dr. Patel is familiar with Sleep Disorders and options for Oral Appliance Therapies. So if you're in Austin or Lakeway and you snore, have Sleep Apnea, or can't tolerate a CPAP, give us a call and we can help guide you.
