No Mask? No Problem. CPAP Alternatives for Sleep Apnea
No Mask? No Problem. CPAP Alternatives for Sleep Apnea
If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea but struggle with wearing a CPAP mask, you’re not alone. Many patients find CPAP therapy uncomfortable, inconvenient, or difficult to maintain long-term. The good news? CPAP is not your only option.
At Comprehensive Sleep Care Center (CSCC), we offer effective CPAP alternatives designed to help you sleep better—without the mask.
Why CPAP Isn’t for Everyone
CPAP therapy is highly effective, but some patients experience challenges such as:
-
Mask discomfort or claustrophobia
-
Dry mouth or nasal irritation
-
Difficulty sleeping on your side
-
Trouble traveling with equipment
-
Poor long-term compliance
If CPAP hasn’t worked for you, that doesn’t mean your sleep apnea can’t be treated.
CPAP Alternatives Available at CSCC
Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)
Oral Appliance Therapy is a comfortable, custom-made dental device worn while you sleep. It gently repositions the jaw to keep your airway open and reduce apneas.
Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy:
-
Small, quiet, and portable
-
No mask or tubing
-
Ideal for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
-
Great option for frequent travelers
-
Custom-fitted
- Covered by most insurances when seen by our in-house sleep medicine dentists
Many patients find oral appliances easier to use and more comfortable than CPAP—leading to better consistency and improved sleep.
Inspire® Therapy
Inspire® is an FDA-approved implantable treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea in patients who cannot tolerate CPAP.
How Inspire Works:
-
A small device is implanted during an outpatient procedure
-
It stimulates airway muscles to keep the airway open during sleep
-
Controlled with a handheld remote
-
No mask, no hose, no noise
Inspire therapy works with your body’s natural breathing patterns and has helped thousands of patients regain restful sleep.
