You are not alone. Compliance with CPAP for some patients is difficult due to a myriad of issues, including claustrophobia while wearing the mask, airway dryness, machine noise, or simply the maintenance of the parts. Your CPAP is only effective if you wear it consistently, night after night, all night.
One alternative may be an oral mandibular advancement splint (MAS), either in conjunction with your CPAP, or alone. The Indian Valley Snore Stop can work with your sleep physician for recommendation of this treatment. Dr. Nase is skilled in the fabrication, adjustment, and recognition of problems which occasionally occur with these devices. Dr. Nase also offers follow up testing to gauge the effectiveness of the appliance.
Talk to your sleep physician or call Dr. Nase today for a consultation.
