CPAP Alternatives: Oral Appliance Therapy for Sleep Apnea

By Deccan Dental · October 6, 2025 · 4 min read

Why people look for alternatives

CPAP works well but many people struggle with the mask, hose, and noise. For snoring and mild-to-moderate sleep apnea, an oral appliance is a proven alternative.

How an oral appliance works

It’s a small custom device worn only at night that gently holds the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open — no mask, no machine, and easy to travel with.

Getting started

A physician diagnoses sleep apnea; we then fit the appliance and coordinate with your doctor and medical insurance. Learn more at the Deccan Sleep Center.

Ready when you are
