Still Struggling With CPAP? Here’s What Sleep Apnea Patients Need to Know

2 min read

“There has to be a better way…”

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at your CPAP machine thinking, “This just isn’t working for me,” you’re not alone. Millions of sleep apnea sufferers silently give up on treatment because the solution feels worse than the problem. But here’s the truth: CPAP is not the only option.

At Ideal Modern Dentistry, we understand that comfort, convenience, and quiet matter—especially when it comes to something as personal as your sleep.

Why Some People Can’t Tolerate CPAP

While CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) remains the gold standard for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, it’s not always practical. Patients often report:

  • Claustrophobia or discomfort from the mask
  • Dry mouth or sore throat
  • Noise keeping their partner awake
  • Difficulty sleeping with the device
  • Trouble traveling with bulky equipment

If you’ve struggled with these issues, you’re not being difficult—you’re being human.

Dental Sleep Solutions: Silent, Comfortable, and Portable

We offer FDA-approved oral appliance therapy—custom-designed mouthpieces that reposition your jaw slightly forward during sleep, keeping your airway open. These are:

  • Non-invasive
  • Custom-fitted for comfort
  • Silent
  • Perfect for travel
  • Covered by most medical insurances

What About Inspire® or Surgery?

For patients who can’t tolerate CPAP or appliances, Inspire (a surgically implanted nerve stimulator) may be an option. We’ll work closely with your sleep physician to discuss candidacy and referrals if needed. Our goal? To guide you through every step of finding a solution that fits your lifestyle.

The Real Danger: Doing Nothing

Untreated sleep apnea increases your risk of:

  • High blood pressure and heart disease
  • Diabetes and weight gain
  • Memory issues and brain fog
  • Daytime sleepiness and accidents

You don’t have to suffer quietly. There are options—and we’ll help you find the one that works.
