CPAP Not Working?

When a patient cannot tolerate CPAP, they neglect to use it. Approximately 83% of CPAP patients quit or are inconsistent in their therapy.

CPAP intolerance is often caused by issues outside of your control:

• Seasonal allergies or ongoing congestion
• Nasal, sinus, or upper palate issues (such as a deviated septum)
• Skin irritation on face
• Nasal irritation, dryness, or bleeding
• Claustrophobia or sensation of suffocation
• Respiratory infections
• Abdominal bloating and gas
• Machine disturbs sleep (or partner’s sleep)

If you are looking to an alternative to CPAP, oral appliances offer a convenient solution.
