Are you tired of struggling with a bulky CPAP machine? Do you wake up feeling exhausted despite a full night’s sleep?

At Cambria Dental Sleep Medicine in Camp Hill, PA, part of the trusted Verber Dental Group network, we focus on providing comfortable, effective alternatives for sleep apnea treatment.

Our custom sleep apnea mouth guards are helping patients throughout South Central Pennsylvania and the Greater Harrisburg area breathe easier and sleep better.

Understanding Sleep Apnea and Its Impact

Sleep apnea is more than just snoring – it’s a serious sleep disorder that causes breathing interruptions throughout the night. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common form, occurs when throat muscles relax and block your airway during sleep. These pauses in breathing can happen dozens or even hundreds of times each night, preventing restorative sleep and potentially leading to serious health problems.

The effects of untreated sleep apnea extend far beyond feeling tired. They may include:

  • Morning headaches
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability and mood changes
  • Increased risk of high blood pressure
  • Higher likelihood of heart problems
  • Greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes

At Cambria Dental Sleep Medicine, we understand how significantly sleep apnea can impact your quality of life, and we’re committed to helping you find relief through comfortable, effective treatment options.

Beyond CPAP: Comfortable Alternatives for Sleep Apnea

While CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines are effective, many patients find them uncomfortable, noisy, or difficult to use consistently. If you’re among the many who struggle with CPAP compliance, our sleep apnea mouth guards – also known as oral appliances – offer an excellent alternative.

Dr. Cambria, our sleep apnea dentist at Cambria Dental Sleep Medicine, creates custom-fitted oral appliances that gently reposition your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep. These devices are:

Comfortable and Easy to Use

Unlike CPAP machines with their masks and hoses, sleep apnea mouth guards are small, comfortable, and easy to wear. Many patients adapt to them quickly and report improved compliance compared to CPAP therapy.

Silent and Portable

Sleep apnea mouth guards operate silently and can be easily transported when you travel. No more disturbing your partner with machine noise or worrying about power outlets when you’re away from home.

Highly Effective for Many Patients

For mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliances often provide relief comparable to CPAP therapy. Even patients with severe OSA who cannot tolerate CPAP may benefit from custom oral appliances.
