You find yourself having to pack a separate bag just for your CPAP machine, and you&#8217;re so tired of traveling this way. There must be a better way!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re right! There is a solution, and an oral appliance in State College may be the answer you&#8217;re looking for. Here&#8217;s more information about the benefits of alternative sleep apnea therapies.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>CPAP Therapy<\/h3>\n<p>For patients suffering from sleep apnea, the CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure machine, is the gold standard of treatment. While effective, the CPAP does present some challenges for patients. Because it has a mask that is worn over your face during sleep, many patients feel claustrophobic. The noise caused by the machine during the night can also be hard to sleep with. The CPAP can also make traveling more difficult, as it can be cumbersome to transport.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, many patients consider an oral appliance in State College. An oral appliance can be a helpful solution even for patients suffering with severe sleep apnea, as it can be used for travel and then in combination with the CPAP at home.<\/p>\n<h3>Oral Appliance Therapy<\/h3>\n<p>Because of the challenges presented by CPAP therapy, many patients have turned to alternative treatment for sleep apnea with an oral appliance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statecollegedentalsleepmedicine.com\/oral-appliance-therapy.html\">Oral appliances<\/a> are comfortable to wear and are designed to slightly position your jaw forward to open your airway and allow for clear breathing throughout the night.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statecollegedentalsleepmedicine.com\/meet-dr-marks.html\">Dr. Donald M. Marks<\/a>, your sleep apnea dentist in State College, has extensive advanced training in helping patients effectively manage sleep apnea with the use of customized oral appliances. In fact, many patients who suffer from mild to moderate sleep apnea can use the oral appliance in place of CPAP therapy, while those who suffer from severe sleep apnea may benefit from combination therapy, which utilizes both CPAP and an oral appliance.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact State College Dental Sleep Medicine<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a convenient way to travel, or you\u2019ve been unsuccessful in wearing your CPAP at night, you may want to learn more about what an oral appliance can do for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statecollegedentalsleepmedicine.com\/contact-us.html\">Contact our office today<\/a> to schedule a consultation with Dr. Marks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve tried fitting you CPAP machine in your luggage with no luck!
